Wow. It's difficult to get too upset about the 15th man but this has (relative) disaster written all over it. If Pop falls in love with Powell and puts him in the rotation, let's hope that love is short-lived and Pop comes to his senses before Powell does too much damage.
Powell history is that he will earn a spot in the rotation ... and he'll eventually lose it. But, damn, does he really kill the team he's on between those two points in time.
As bad as Bonner and Blair can be, Powell is a definite downgrade to either one. At least Bonner at his worst is just invisible and Blair at his worst still mixes in some good with his bad. Powell at his worst is literally the absolute worst player and the most damaging player in the entire NBA ... as the last seven years of his career has proven as fact.
The problem with Powell is that he's a good mid range shooter for a big. In itself, this is a good thing. But his teams(and him) tend to get him shots there, and while he converts them well relative to league average for that shot type, the performance is well below league average for a possesion(And this only gets worse when accounting for poor rebound% on mid range shots relative to other distances).
Hoping for a trade, or that Powell is just a practice dummy. Him playing is the worst.
And just exactly WHAT was the 2-day old JaMychal Green experiment all about?
If someone has any idea, please clue me in.
Of course, we're only talking about the 15th spot on the roster, yet it's hard to figure out exactly WTF this FO is doing?
To let him play for the Toros.
They're basically just saying it, tbh.
It'll be interesting to see if a team claims Witherspoon off waivers. Doubtful but it could happen if a team watches game tape of that game he started.
About four people have already said what that signing was about.
