Powell knows how to set screens. That´s his big advantage compared to WCS and KP. There are many ways to be a good screener. It´s not only about strength or the willingness to absorb contact. I would argue that the right timing and angle are more important. The perfect screen in the modern NBA is an uncalled moving screen. KG and Draymond mastered it. Powell knows how to do it as well.
KP and WCS lack both. Bad angles and timing all the time and to make matters worse they both shy away from contact and prefer to slip the screen. A slip screen is something that should be used to mix it up. Just like the roll vs pop. Problem is that both shy away from contact and basically never set a traditional screen.
I know that most of us (including me) argued against more traditional bigman because they have flaws that are difficult to hide in the playoffs but I would love to see Luka with an elite screener like Adams, Nurkic or Favors.
