I never said TT is better than Powell. I said he could bang with all the big bodies that almost all playoff teams employ and start.
Also I should point out Brook Lopez, while a good player, ended up benched a lot in the playoffs in favor of small-ball with Giannis at center.
The role Lopez played is almost exactly the role I’ve suggested we get a big body for. Start and play as much as he is useful. The rest of the time Powell and someone else can fill.
Also, let me be clear, my preference is to get a Turner type to be the non-situational C.
