We have differing views on the concept of 'offensively useless'. Let's see how the team did offensively during three periods of time last season:
From 1/13 on (this is the point KP returned. DP isn't close to being himself again, but we'll use this date as it is illustrative and fair)
From 2/1 on (the point Maxi returned from COVID)
From 3/1 on (the point the team seemed for the most part to be at full strength)
O-Ratings Period 1 DP 115.7/MK 114.5
O-Ratings Period 2 DP 116.7/MK 114.8
O-Ratings Period 3 DP 115.8/MK 114.5
Oh BTW, Useful Maxi achieves his numbers playing 82% of his minutes with Luka. "Useless" Powell achieves his better numbers playing only 74% of his minutes with Luka. Would i prefer a superior roll man who could also hit a 3? Absolutely. Is Powell's net positive offensive production useless? No.
