In my opinion, small line-ups Mavs have coming of the bench is doing no-one any favors. Line-up numbers for all those guys probably look bad, as that group with four guards and small center can only rarely be successful. That is not Powell fault and I don't think any center (especially slow centers like Drummond) would have any more success. Our perimeter defense is leaky as it is and with extremely small PF and undersized center there is just no hope for any kind of decent defense.
Some of us warned Mavs have a surplus of guards that all could claim minutes on the bench, especially if they start DJJ. It is simply too many of them. Either they need to sit a couple and replace them with bench wings or they do a trade. The latter will not happen before TDL.
