In a vacuum, I don’t dislike Powell and Holmes. On offense, they both specialize in pick and roll, which is great with Luka. My problem with the center rotation is that Powell and Holmes offer ZERO rim protection.
While having bigs that can move their feet is more important in the modern NBA, something tells me our head coach values the traditional big that can block shots. They drafted Lively and gave McGee that ridiculous contract because both those guys are shot blockers.
While not the immediate priority, I think Mavs will continue to look for a better fit at Center with the THJ and Bullock trade chips. Perhaps into the season upto the trade deadline.
If the defense sucks, I expect quotes from Kidd this season about how they don’t have any interior rim protection.
