At any rate ya Powell was supposed to be Luka's roll partner and we see it sometimes but in limited spots.
If they save it then they won't be very good, polished, or practiced when the time comes that they need it most.
KP is 36th percentile in the NBA as the pick and roll man (and worst on the Mavs), scoring only 1.06 PPP.
Get this, when JB sets screens for Luka and rolls he scores 1.20 PPP. JB has been more efficient as the roll man than KP this year.
