Powell has been "good" for the last two seasons. Awesome 20 min/game guy who's done really well in BPM and WS, but always just a bench guy.

The dude went off in February.

28 min/game

13.4 pts

8.4 rebounds

2 assists

His shots per game literally doubled from January to February. He's turned a corner to earn the extra starter-level minutes and he's acting like he's post-All Star Seth Curry from last year.

"Dwight Powell is just the second Mavs center in 20 years to have at least 20 points and three steals in a game. Tyson Chandler (2014 version) is the other." Source

"44 players have finished at least 100 possessions as the roll man. Dwight Powell leads them all in points per possession at 1.363" Source

This leads me to a few questions:

1. Is Dwight Powell a long-term piece for the Mavs?

2. Is Dwight Powell my daddy?

3. Have the Mavs retroactively won the Rondo trade (please pay no attention to any Kyrie trades that may have involved pieces from the Rondo trade. It is fake news and undercuts my argument)?

4. Could LeBron beat Dwight Powell in flip flops in a game of 1-on-1?
