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.
Let me add let’s give him some time. With the faster pace and a guy like Kyrie, we probably won’t count on Wood as much to create. It is more cutting, finding the open space, make quick decisions, etc. wood had a nice connection with Luka developing. It may just take him some time to learn how to fit in with this new style. Minutes are tight though.
