I think the big feather Powell will always have in his cap is he's just a super high level screener for Luka's PnR partner in regards to setting a hard physical screen (without fouling) to get Luka seperation, reading the defense and timing his roll, and now he's pretty good dribble drive 5 to add on top of that.
Jumping up and dunking the lob is the easy part. Very few of these plays happen because DP skies over 3 defenders outstretched arms to catch the lob. A lot of the time he's wide open by the basket without anyone guarding him because he just perfectly read the defense and timed his roll. They are theoretically one of those plays that "anybody" could make but they consistently don't, which is why Powell is 99th percentile.
