Neemias Queta is thriving with his opportunity to start for the Boston Celtics. However, at times this season, there have been valid concerns about the ability to fill the minutes behind him with a traditional option at center.
For a significant stretch, Boston was relying heavily on small-ball, leaning on Josh Minott and Jordan Walsh bumping up to center when Queta was off the floor. They even started doing so with Hugo Gonzalez.
That option has worked well. However, it can't be the exclusive solution when Queta needs a breather. That would become most evident during the playoffs.
