I think he'd have probably been a pretty good backup for Powell (that you could play or not, depending on the matchup) as well as an insurance policy in case Powell gets hurt.
I think we're all scratching our heads a bit at the current 5 situation. I think Powell is going to play well, but they must really think centers are overrated at Mavs HQ right now with how thin they are there.
It depends on the matchups with Powell. He has trouble guarding bigs with size and strength like Embiid, Gobert, or Joker. He has a speed advantage though for lobs and rim-runs. But he gets punished in the post.
