Last season Maxi started four games and then he was out and Powell was inserted into the starting lineup. So, anything is possible. Of course, that was next to a recovering KP and not as a stand alone center. Big difference.
We don't have a great answer for stand alone center in KP's absence. Maxi can't do it any better than Powell. He does a lot of things well defensively, but teams attack him in the post and that isn't a strength. So, if you are going to try that, you probably have to keep a big in the game with him. If that is Powell, then a wing sits. If it is WCS, then Powell and a wing sits. The other possibility would be starting Willie. Good things have happened with him in the floor this season.
