How is Rick going to manage minutes?

Disagree. The team was -5 with Powell on the floor so the results weren't there. But his hard rolls opened up a new dimension to the offense that I guarantee will be exploited over time. Watch for the double pick & rolls sets. 

Carlisle: "It's been a long road. We know [Powell] is going to help us at both ends. As well as we've played offensively we can always do better. Defensively is where we could use a lift. We need his power, energy & force."

I don't care about his one game performance (which was bad) the first game back from injury. What I do care about is what I have seen from him his last 4 seasons in Dallas. His lob threat does not make up for how weak he is as a defender playing against the other teams starters.
