Powell has built a long, unglamorous career on the things that don't fill a box score: hard screens, rim runs, and locker-room steadiness. A 2014 second-round pick out of Stanford, he landed in Dallas via trade early in his rookie year and never left — now in his twelfth season he's the Mavericks' longest-tenured player and sits among the franchise's all-time leaders in games played. At his peak he was a lethal pick-and-roll finisher, converting lobs and short rolls at a high clip while setting the screens that freed Dallas's guards. A torn Achilles in January 2020 cost him a step, and he's since settled into a reserve role, but his worth as a veteran anchor and energy big behind Dallas's younger frontcourt has kept him in the rotation.
Offensive Game
Veteran role scorer who excels in the pick-and-roll as a finisher. Reliable in catch-and-finish situations near the basket. Not a primary offensive option but contributes cleanly when his number is called.
Defensive Game
Smart positional defender who uses his experience and size effectively. No longer a high-energy defender, but understands defensive systems and is trusted to be in the right place.
Intangibles
One of the most respected veterans in the Mavericks locker room. Elite in his understanding of systems, opponent tendencies, and how to maximize his contribution in limited minutes.

Did You Know?
Powell has been with the Dallas Mavericks for over a decade — making him one of the longest-tenured players in franchise history and a bridge between the Nowitzki, Dončić, and Flagg eras.
He tore his right Achilles tendon in January 2020 — the same injury that sidelined Klay Thompson for a season — and returned to play meaningful minutes for Dallas the following year.
Powell is one of Canada's most quietly successful NBA exports, playing most of his career in the same region as several other Canadian-born NBA players but receiving less national recognition than stars like Andrew Wiggins or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Despite never making an All-Star team, Powell has been one of the most consistent and trustworthy rotation players in the Mavericks' system for over a decade — a testament to his professionalism and basketball IQ.
