Dwight Powell is the clear winner, and imo it’s not close. 18 efficient points. Two blocks. Incessant running in transition, both ways. Amazing work to box out (so others get the rebounding glory, in true “good team player” fashion). Flying around on defense like someone is holding a family member hostage, contesting everything. Team high +12 in 30 minutes! The Mavs were lucky to have him tonight.

Tied for second on my list would be Williams and Russell. I lack the ability to adequately express how much I prefer to watch this team when there’s an actual PG on the floor. I feel strongly that one of these guys needs to be in the game pretty much all the time.
