I really think you’re so focused on what Powell can’t do that you’re missing what he can do. He’s not perfect (far from it) but he’s a good player.
I swear to god, half the battle with Kyrie (and now Green and Williams, both of whom can handle and pass a bit) is just running every time in transition (check), setting great screens (check) and rolling hard EVERY time (check). I also think his defensive positioning, basketball IQ and ability to move his feet are all underrated.
Honestly, I don’t have an opinion (yet) on who should be playing center, but I sure am glad they didn’t just throw Powell in the trash. He’ll find a way to help this team.
