TAKE DAT WIT YOU 11/11

[fifteenth]

That's one-big. 

I'd be shocked if that isn't the destination in the back of their minds, but to your "load-management" point, it seems like that's exactly what they're trying to avoid for now. 

Powell absolutely is the best choice, if they're locked into two bigs early on, and since Kleber is hurt. 

But, in my opinion, that throws a wrench into this idea that KP should get the ball more frequently in that extended free throw area or in the low post. That idea, combined with KP/Powell as a combo, are a nearly impossible to reconcile dichotomy. At least, that's how I see the situation. 

It's almost as if you're better off not depending on someone for whom concessions have to be made just to get him through the season healthy, let alone playing well. Weird.
