He's a backup, so he'll play when other guys need a rest, he hasn't done anything to earn extra minutes just for the sake of getting him on the court IMO. Guys are going to get banged up and KP will probably sit some back to backs out as the season goes on, so he'll have a change to play, but I don't think we should try and shoehorn him into a roll in the regular rotation when Maxi is playing well.
The team (coach, GM, owner) doesn't think like you do about Powell. They view him as a starter, or at the very least, a key contributor. He'll probably be top 5 in mpg based on their view of him.
