Powell is a top rim runner. Powell is excellent team defender and is able to switch on smaller players. Powell brings huge energy on the field. Powell is a culture guy. Everyone on the Mavs gives him that. Mavs were good with Powell in the line-up, even though KP was still shaking off rust.
I haven't exactly seen that greater talent and physical ability on WCS. He was good a couple of games and not so good in others. WCS certainly isn't such a good rim runner as Powell. His defense was ok on several occasions, I don't have complaints here. He doesn't bring so much energy as Powell. He is also not exactly a star, so I guess he must earn his minutes.
Line-ups with one big are working ok atm. Line-ups with no bigs are not, but hey, he was not available for Atlanta.
