He is shooting 28 % from three, has 0 inside game, can't switch on perimeter. He protects the rim, though. And people here call Powell a one trick pony...
It is difficult to compare players with different strengths and weaknesses. But Powell is definitely at least in the same league than centers from teams mentioned. And the question was about starters.
He actually is a great post player and improves his teams rebounding because he boxes out. Brook scores 1.14 PPP in the post this season. The Bucks are using him as a stretch 5 most of the time but when Giannis was out he got more inside touches.
Time flies but 3 1/2 years ago Brook was a 20ppg post up bigman. The way he adjusted his game to fit the modern NBA is impressive.
