Offense is still questionable. Percentages and O-Rating improved but the volume/production isn´t big enough to make a difference. Not a single point in the last two games (26 minutes total). He had a few games with vintage Powell performances but it is mostly against teams like the Wolves or Grizzlies with bad interior defense.
Ya so that's why I want to see DP with a bigger role again. He was an analytics darling there for a couple of years bc if his very high efficiency. I was very critical of DP and his triple single stat lines but I've come around on him as a useful player. At least for this year I'd like to see what it'd look like going back to last year's starting lineup to see if the offense makes sense again.
