WCS has a reputation as a bonehead and reefer addict (sic) whereas DP is Mr. Boy Scout who went to Stanford. I strongly prefer WCS for his rim protection, overall defense, and athleticism, but he has a long way to go to figure things out enough for RC on offense. He'll get the chance the rest of the way with Powell out.
Note: earlier this year, I was clamoring for the Mavs to upgrade three starters: Powell, DFS, and THJ. I think the Mavs have Powell covered if WCS follows through with determination, and all it cost in trade was the Utah pick and Roby. Only becomes "expensive" in terms of what it takes to keep him here this summer. Hope something like the MLE does it.
