Powell played 836 minutes last year and we don’t talk about him anymore…
Although I am on the side that thinks Maxi will get less minutes, and most of them will be due to injury at the 5 or 4, I think comparing him to Powell is going too far. Powell got most of those minutes before Gafford was on the team (and when Maxi was hurt). It was very clear in the second half of last season that Maxi was a higher priority at the 5 than Powell.
