That is the interesting thing about last night. WCS was only +1 and WCS w/Maxi was +3. All of the damage occurred when Maxi was the lone big.
He's good at it! Except for his rebounding numbers being low (not just last night, but across the board). I loved that commentary about the Hawks leaving Maxi open, and the point that all five Mavs on the floor were deadly three-point threats, so who were you going to leave open? That's a long-term issue with WCS - he'll never in his career get an 8-digit-a-year contract until he learns to shoot a three. But to me, although somewhat boneheaded, he is much more appropriate as a starting center in this league than Powell (who can't hit threes either). Hopefully he'll be able to keep his head reefer-clear long enough to learn what Powell did about the system.
