Not convinced by Powells +/-. He missed the first few games of the season (all close) and was +41 vs GS.
Right now he ranks in the 31th percentille among pick and roll players. Last season he was in the 90th percentille. He is scoring less, drawing less fouls and turning the ball over more than he did last year.
The game against the Lakers was the first one this season where I saw the "old" Powell that is able to catch and finish in traffic. That´s the player the Mavs need and signed to a reasonable contract in the summer. Really hope that he can build on that performance.
His defense will always be a problem. That´s why the Mavs have Kleber who can play 30+ minutes on a given night.
