In 4 games in the starting lineup so far, WCS is averaging 7.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks in just under 26 minutes a game.
Compare that to pre-injury Powell in his starts last season: 9.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.5 blocks in just under 27 minutes a game.
Basically WCS is trying out the old Powell role, and he's doing an impressive job while also being a much better defender and rebounder. It's a small sample size, but if he keeps it up this could be similar to the THJ situation last year where he got a starting shot and played so much better that the team just ran with it and never looked back.
