Very reasonable if his impact can match his numbers
Yep. I think the biggest issue is if he can avoid being a negative on defense, and probably our best chance at that is to pair him with Maxi.

Actually Powell's injury came after his extension. He was healthy as a horse when he signed that extension. Things might have played out differently if he never had that injury, but I never understood why we extended him over the MLE (I think back then it was 9). That same contract now that Maxi signed makes more sense at roughly the current MLE.
