No one's in love, but he is better than any Center on the current Celtics roster, 
any center that will be available when they are drafting or via free
agency. I think you have to rate him ahead of Dampier because
he's a much better offensive player.  

My philosophy for this off-season is that Ainge needs to make at least one
"Shoot For The Fences" type of Big Deal or Draft, whether that player is 
Vince Carter or Igauskas. Some-one-or-two needs to be added to the team who 
can have an impact.
