My guess is that this thinking is involved with running him out there right now, at least in part. They are hoping that he can play himself into rhythm after a long period of being out.
When you think about it, it’s not crazy. KP was rough for like the first half of the season last year and nobody called for him to be benched.
So, it seems to me that those super upset about Powell getting these chances are thinking differently because A) the Mavs have raised our expectations for what they should accomplish since the beginning of last season and B) they don’t believe Powell is WORTH trying to work back into the fold, and that the idea of a healthy, successful Powell won’t help the team much, anyway.
We KNOW the Mavs disagree with B, and they might be willing to lose some early games (germane because A) to get him where they THINK they can get him.
I’m just playing devil’s advocate here - my confidence in Powell is wavering, for sure. I DO trust the Mavs, however. This isn’t just because “they like him.” They’re doing SOMETHING.
