Got it. That is the crux of this whole thing and one person has been willing to try and tackle it.
Powell can space the floor. He stands on the 3 point line and will take the odd 3 point shot despite not being very good at it. Would this offense be better if it could replace Powell with someone who was a better threat from 3? Hell yes. Powell's rim running helps make up for it to an extent. But in an ideal world, you want to be able to play 5 out with every lineup you put out. There's a number of factors involved in our league leading offense, but spacing is definitely the most important from a team concept.
