The Rotation (2020-2021)

[StepBackJay]

I will still maintain that Powell is not a starter even if healthy next to KP. Mavs tried a rim roller next to KP and it hampered KPs game. Mavs need a spacer next to KP. While I could see KP playing occasional minutes next to a center I expect most of his minutes to be next to a 3D stretch big. That would mean Maxi, DFS or Johnson would be in the front court next to KP. I would be shocked in so many ways if Powell starts next to KP ever again. He provides no spacing on offense and gets in the way essentially of KPs game. With no center KP can mix things up which is what he needs. Luka also benefits from all the spacing a 5 out lineup gives you.
