The highest-regarded sports agent in the basketball industry, Rich Paul, with clients like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Draymond Green, recently placed Norman Powell in the same tier as the 2026-likely All-Star guard, Austin Reaves.

"The best 2 guards [are] on the Olympic team. Norman Powell isn’t on the Olympic team. Does that mean that [he] is not a really good 2 guard? No… I would say Norman Powell is in that tier 2 with Austin Reaves.
