Mavericks forward Dwight Powell continued his impressive summer of basketball with a fine showing for Team Canada in their 101-59 victory over Cuba in the FIBA Americas Cup.
The second-year pro came off the bench and scored 10 points (3-6 FG), grabbed two boards, and blocked two shots in 13 minutes.
The Cubans aren’t exactly a global basketball powerhouse, but Powell’s play was fairly impressive nonetheless. He scored his first bucket running the floor in transition, hit an 18-foot baseline jumper, showed quick hands while playing defense in the post, and excellent timing when contesting shots inside and on the perimeter.
