Bucks game got folks' attention

[DanSchwartzgan]

The area Powell improved most this season imho is the short roll. The role critical in the system with Luka, because he gets doubled so much. That pass to the short roll is critical - the player should be able to be an instant threat. Either to shoot, drive or pass to the open man. Powell was not so good in this role at the start of the season, but has improved a lot. He can really pass it well.  

So, which center can be better offensively while playing same or better level of defense (I always thought Powell is a great team defender)? 



 
I think Holmes would be an improvement on both sides. He is not a shooter so perhaps not ideal, but he has a killing floater. 

 

Completely agree.  He's really good at it and that push shot is part of why I like Holmes.  I'm not kicking Gobert, Turner or Capela out of bed for eating crackers.  I'm dubious about Wood.  We sent out the exact salary needed and essentially the same assets used to match/get Wood in a deal that included Detroit and he didn't end up here.  That tells me we either didn't want him or he didn't want us.  Yes, we've had a regime change and who knows what is still valid and what isn't.  It has always made me scratch my head that we could have easily dealt for him that summer and didn't for some reason.
