Thad is a good player. Enjoyed his Shawn Marion-like game for years. But yes... think DFS' role - not Powell's. He is not a C and does not block shots - never has. He is a steals guy. He isn't a terrific rebounder either - decent for a SF - although he is better on the offensive boards somehow. He is a below avg 3pt shooter. A lot like Marion, he is a big SF or a small PF.
I have to say that I would not be particularly interested in him, tbh. For the Mavs needs, there are better options. He is an addition to make an addition, and his contract is larger than Powell's (although I think a year shorter) and has 14.2M due in '21. He is not the player you use that space on. Pass. If you are dealing with CHI, OPJ is the gem and would fit like a glove in Dallas.
