It’s official: Dwight Powell is an NBA player. Which, on a team as bad as Dallas was this year, meant that he was arguably the best non-Dirk big man on the roster.
Yes, you heard that right.
In his fourth season, Dwight Powell posted career highs across the board. Powell has been the most consistent rotation big in Dallas the past two seasons, but this year, he displayed a clear step forward in his career progress. He played 21 minutes per game (2nd highest among bigs on the team) and started nearly a third of the season.
