Not sure I agree that he would be a good starting center on a contender, if that is the aim, but he might well do a very fine job against other bench players(11-27-2019, 09:48 AM)mavsluvr Wrote: Powell is a bench guy who has been Peter Principled.

I am not that harsh on Powell. I think he could be a good number 5 guy, if we would have good number 3 and number 4. But we don't and so he is exposed more and looks bad. Like Zubac - he is absolutely nothing special on either side of the floor, but looks good because defense needs to focus full time on the other four starters.
