start powe instead

Powe never gets the opportunity to play 40 minutes like Davis has. Powe needs to start a few games and get his chance. Right now it looks like Rivers wants Davis back next year and will let Leon sign with a new team. I don't like that.

Powe is worse when trying to defend outside of the paint than BBD. Whatever, I'm curious how Doc will rotate them. Powe/Perk/Davis will all become well acquainted with Dwight.

Doc doesn't make those decisions, though he certainly influences them. Doc's likes one of his bigs to be able to space the floor with a jumper. Besides there is something to having Powe come off the bench and be our energy rebounder and the post player with our second unit.

Davis has a streaky jump shot at best and there is an Achilles heel to it, he usually shoots it from the elbow spot most of the time. If I was an opposing coach i'd push him away from that spot and force him to take it in where he's not as good at finishing. Powe finished hard and he's not making as much dumb mistakes anymore. Powe isn't a master at playing perimeter defense but he didn't let Dirk the Jerk rain 3's in the Dallas game. If I had to choose between them i'd let BBD go and teach Leon the jumpshot, if Leon got that he'd make BBD close to obsolete, except for the weight difference.
