I can almost guarantee if they start him it's going to be because they feel he's ready to get 28-32 minutes a night. Not just because they want to see him play.
I don't think so. Ben Wallace started majority of the games in 10-11. Only played 22 minutes a game though. Just wanted him on the court for his defense to start the 1st and 2nd halfs. And got a few minutes here and there. Could easily see them do the same thing with Drummond until his offensive game improves.

Also don't have much more options at center.

Ben Wallace is also a guy that's been around for the past 100 years and has earned the trust of the coaches, and even though this may sound corny, he's also earned the right to start. You don't really see teams start big men to only play them limited minutes.

Anyways, I'm finally going eat lunch at 3:30, good discussion...:D

Haha, I just meant in the same sense that they were good for their defense. An old Ben Wallace defense, is probably not even as good as what Drummond can step in and do right now.
