Taj Gibson and Marcus Morris are two other PF types you could try to bring in here that would move Powell to the bench. Marcus Morris can play SF and even play-make although he is more likely to chuck a lot of shots.
Post offense by a 5 is obsolete but a lot of PF's create a lot of offense post and otherwise. These guys need to get locked down. Right now Powell is drawing these assignments. Just to name a few names you have Jokic (center/PF hybrid), Aldridge, Anthony Davis, Kevin Love, Jaren Jackson, and so on, most of which have given Powell a lot of trouble this year. Even old Marc Gasol gave Powell problems. You need a guy that can guard the skilled big on the other team and Powell does not offer much resistance. The Mavs need a guy who can both do PF things (guard out on the perimeter) and center things (ie rebound, roll to the rim, set good screens).
