My take is it lifts everybody’s game to have a point guard on the floor. I know I’m gonna draw ire with this. But Luka and Spence are scorers first. Brunson too. Kyrie is a complete floor general. Has a lot to do with McGee’s reappearance imho. It’s gonna help THJ second most.
Oh, I think that’s part of it too. But to be honest, you can tell he’s not fully integrated into the system yet. He’s not even touching the ball all that much, and while he has been really good, loads of the players who were already here are playing with a ton more energy than they were.
I’m not dismissing your point, because I think there is something to it. But I think just the idea that management has declared “you guys are worth us taking a swing like this“ has really energized them.

But Powell just helps things move smoothly by doing the boring stuff well. McGee has played with a fire The last two games that we have not seen this year. So his 19 minutes were deserved. So that leads a short leash at the 5 position if he have a few bad possessions. He may very well be an under 25 minute per game player now even on his best nights. He will have many chances to earn playing time.
If minutes are too tight for him now, what’s his role gonna be when Kleber comes back?
