The real question is, should the Mavs give Powell space to get his game back? I'm pretty sure the Mavs answer is yes.
I don't think WCS is on a "could replace a rotation player" level yet. He's at the "can he sustain rotation level play?" level, since he's never done it before. I'm cheering for him, but he's gotta prove he can get and keep his head right.
And your argument is based on his performance before he suffered a career altering injury. We all watched the last three games and Powell was really bad.
It´s not easy to balance the proposed space for Powell with an attempt to win as many games as possible. Usually that´s something teams do for franchise players. Not a role player. I understand that KP needed time and reps because he is a franchise changing talent. Not sure if it is worth it in Powells case.
