Nice strawman. I don't blame you. It's difficult to argue in favor of a position that isn't supported by the available evidence. Powell, Kleber and Lively are net positives. Gafford is the worst rotation player on the roster if we are looking at on/off, +/-. Never stated that Powell is great or should be playing starter minutes. Just pointed out that the same lineups performed better with Powell on the floor.
And of course we can do this for all available centers. Feel free to make a big comparisation. I am going to start.
Lively on court +9.0 on/off +11.2
Powell on court +3.6 on/off +4.3
Kleber on court +1.4 on/off +1.3
Gafford on court -8.0 on/off -9.0
