Holmes entire value is built around a floater/push shot, mostly out of pick and pop. It's a really unique shot and he's very efficient with it, but Powell is also highly efficient in PnR as a rim roller. Neither one have a 3 point shot or creating buckets with some old school back to the basket low post game. To me they're similar players and similar strengths and weaknesses, even if they go about it in a different style.
One thing I will say in Holmes favor...and I might be completely wrong on this...
He seems extremely light on his feet and athletic. I dont think Powell has near the lateral quickness Holmes has. I think Powell is coming along better than people hoped...but he seems hampered laterally. And...that might have nothing to do with his injury.
What I am trying to say and its not a perfect description is...Holmes looks like a cat and Powell like a dog athletically. Almost to the point is looks like Holmes could guard 1 through 5. Powell cant hang with guards. You have to have fundamentals, though...and Powell has them. I dont know anything about the small details that make a PF good or sloppy. Is Holmes good or sloppy...I dont know.
