NEA Sports Editor notes Emmette Bryant failed as a center for the Boston Celtics after Bill Russell. Dave Cowens breaks in as a versatile center, proving tough, fast and productive beside JoJo White, Don Chaney, Steve Kuberski, and John Havlicek as Boston fights for a playoff spot. Russell praises Cowens, calling him a Celtic after Cowens shined in the Maurice Stokes Benefit game and later on the floor against stars.
