A real-world basketball explanation for Powell not being a system player would be things like, he boxes out, he's great at perimeter switching, can keep himself between his man and the basket, defenders think he can actually hit a three, things like that.
Here is real world...
The team's O is better when he's in (by a wide margin).
The team's D is better when he's in.
The team shoots MUCH better when he's in.
The team rebounds better when he's in.
You can try to define the ingredients (good and bad) however you wish, but in the end, the stew tastes good.
What aspects of Powell's game do you, as a student of the game, believe causes those things to be? Can you explain in layman's terms how those ways that Powell improves the team aren't system-based?
