It's hard to score or play defense when you only have 4 guys on the floor at all times
That is essentially what the Mavs have become for every minute that Powell has been on the floor these entire post season games.
Then when you factor in Dinwiddie's play vs the Suns that makes matters even worse.
I hate to be that guy but Boban could easily get you a few buckets and rebounds in 8-10 minutes per game and his defense can't b any worse than Powell's defense.
Hell you could essentially have Josh Green playing small ball center and wouldn't do any worse than Powell at this point. But your center would be able to dribble and pass (green) as opposed to the other center being limited in every aspect of the game beyond setting a few picks.
How a guy can make 11 million a year and not have any skills helpful for the team is mind boggling. But he's a locker room leader so I guess that justifies the contract
