I was just wondering today what happened to Dwight Powell. Norman Powell had taken the hotly-contested title of “Best Powell” from him a few games ago, after White Power had held it for the whole beginning of the season. This is not what I anticipated, coming into the season, him ever losing his title.
Apparently, David Lee has come in and taken all his minutes, which is great for fans of savvy veteran play but not so great for fans of high-flying whamjams. The Mavericks may have playoff aspirations, but they could at least play Dwight SOME minutes. DNPs should never be an option of this dude. Remember, despite his recently lost “Best Powell” title, he still retains the “Dunker of the Best Dunk of the Year” award, earned for his emphatic power-pump against the Timberwolves.
Hopefully this career-high accompanied by a quartet of supremo monster-mashes will earn him some more minutes in the future; in any case, is that a Norman/Dwight combined dunkilation I’m smelling?
