Powell is a nice guy and all but he isn’t a true big. Unfortunately, KP is outside most of the time and he’s 7’3. Why not play Moses Brown some meaningful minutes and see what he can do. Honestly, there really isn’t an offensive system except one on one plays. Luka can’t create much. As for Kidd, I don’t like the fact that he sits down during games. He should be up and down the sidelines coaching. He isn’t here to watch the game.

Jason Kidd is adamant about playing Luka Doncic with Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell. Those combinations might seem straightforward since all three players start for Dallas. But there’s more to it.
Finney-Smith is averaging 31.2 minutes this season. Nearly 29 come with Doncic also on the floor. Almost all of Powell’s 23.7 minutes also come with Doncic. Why is this significant? Because Finney-Smith and Powell offer little value without Luka.
Powell is a rim-runner largely dependent on getting easy chances and lobs at the rim. That seemingly makes him a good match with Doncic, who excels at keeping opposing bigs in limbo when he gets into the paint. But the issue is that Powell mostly just serves as a body otherwise and boasts a shaky track record defensively.
