This season has been a massive success for the Celtics, almost from start to finish. There have been positive revelations up and down the roster, and the amount of meaningful contributions that Joe Mazzulla has gotten from players on minimum and rookie contracts has been beyond impressive.
One of the more improbable things that has worked out for the team has been the center rotation. The position was a massive question mark coming into the season after losing Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis, and Luke Kornet in the offseason.
To the credit of the front office, coaching staff, and players, the position has actually turned into a strength with Neemias Queta emerging as a legitimate starter, Luka Garza giving them great minutes as a backup, and the addition of a veteran stretch-big and post presence in Nikola Vucevic.
