Still, this is a guy that was diving on the floor in a scrum for the ball in a game 7 while ahead by 30+ points. That's the dirty work you get from DP. Big heart and a desire to play whatever role needed to win.
Oh yeah, Luka was down in the same pile fighting for the ball. That's the team spirit it takes to go deep in the playoffs.
Nobody will question his heart, and I'm not saying we need to dump him, but he should not be starting. If we manage to replace him in the starting lineup with a 5 out guy, then you could play any combination of that guy, Powell and Maxi you wanted.
