I definitely agree that plan A will be to make it through games with Powell/Kleber playing all 48 minutes at center, but I don't think that means they can't play some at the same time. Similar to Luka and Brunson, only maybe a little less overlap than those two.
I'll be pretty shocked if the plan is for DFS to the FULL TIME 4 (or share it with Bertans, only). I mean, more than we'd see with KP in the mix, sure, but all game, every game? Interested to see how this plays out.
I don't think they really have anyone else capable of playing serious center minutes. The overlap can of course come, if they play more than 48 minutes combined and this might happen.
I think Luka is the nominal PF on defense.
