While Powell isn't the flashiest prospect, his development will play a role in the Mavericks future.
This past summer has been an eye-opening one for Dwight Powell. It began with his stellar Summer League play, where he averaged 18.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in six games. These performances showed the versatility that the Mavericks saw enough of to get him thrown into the Rondo trade (which I propose we now and forevermore refer to as the Powell trade).
After a lovely couple of weeks in Vegas, Dwight headed south to Mexico City to support his home nation of Canada.
