One big use for DP I noticed was during one of those low energy Mavs games. The Mavs came out flat and uninspired. Making me want to throw something at the TV. Then Rick put Powell in. All that changed. Suddenly there was hustle and movement where there had been none before. I generally bemoan the fact that Powell seems to be hurried or rushed to the detriment of his shot, having me wish he'd calm down and dial it back a bit. Relax and play within himself. Mostly I think Powell's downside is his energy, which is also his plus-side. Sometimes the Mavs need an Energizer Bunny to jumpstart the team. I think Powell is that.
