If Powell keeps putting up a disappearance act, I can see WCS or Maxi running with the first unit.
Not totally ready to give up on Powell yet (obviously - one game), but I'd welcome the chance to see what that first group looks like with WCS out there instead of him.
I'm NOT enthusiastic about seeing WCS and Powell play TOGETHER.
In the end, we've got to trust Carlisle to figure this out. The pieces are there. WCS, Powell, Kleber and Boban are all useful at the 5, albeit in different situations. Kleber, Powell, Johnson and DFS can all hold their own at the 4, too. Finding the ideal permutations of those choices based on how they do with different guard/wing combos is what he gets paid to do. I'm sure he'll fiddle with it more than we want him to, but he'll get there.
