Why not just let KP do the pick and roll with Luka, instead of Powell? And let Maxi sit outside shooting the 3? He shoots them better than KP anyway.
KP/Maxi - That's Max defense.
KP would really dominate more like this, and we would solve the defensive issues as well. He can roll to the rim even better than Powell I would say.
The bench needs to be solved for sure. We need to add a big or even two bigs for the bench. I would just let KP/Maxi as starters, and instead trade for some depth for the bench and in case KP should be more injured. Preferably defenisve bigs. Since they would play together with Bobi, that really is great on offense. So I would add athletic bigs with defensive skills, not any major additions or great two way players.
Although I have really started to like and understand what Powell brings as pick and rolll and rolling the rim. I have to say this may open up this team even more now that he is injured. Because we may start to see Luka and KP now making pick and roll. And this is exactly where we always projected them to be unstoppable, and this is exactly where they will develop the chemistry the most. KP needs to set better screens, if that is developed, look out for them to dominate. Maxi will knock them down from the outside. Need some bigs to anchor the bench defense and let Bobi dominate on offense for bench unit.
Don't get me wrong, im not happy at all that Powell is injured. But I do see some things can develop that would never have otherwise. And the team needs to adjust, and whenever that happens it can create opportunities for new schemes and chemistry etc.
