Pelicans
Blazers
Raptors
Spurs
Grizzlies
Wizards
Kings
Lakers
Pacers
Nets
Bucks
Nuggets
DP has always been a positive contributor in the advanced stats. His production may not be impressive and his limitations are obvious. I wish he would rebound better and provide some resistance at the rim. Somehow though, he has managed to make a positive contribution for a long time on this team. As Kidd adjusts lineups to provide more size next to Powell, he'll get less hate around here. I do hope we'll obtain another backup center though for certain matchups. Someone like Drummond or Bitadze.

So that's 6 of the 12 you listed, 6 of the 29 other rosters. Without going through all of them, we're looking like only 17% of the rosters would Powell break into the top 13, roughly 5 teams.
