It’s unfair to compare the careers of Delon Wright and Norman Powell to this point, even though it inevitably happens. They were both drafted in 2015, they are both “older” than most prospects — Norm is now 24, while Delon is 25 — and they both occupy similar positions on the Raptors. But Norm’s rookie season offered him a breakout opportunity, while Delon toiled largely in 905-induced obscurity. Their sophomore seasons diverged as well, with Norm filling various spots for the Raps, all but demanding more minutes, and saving the team in the playoffs; while Delon recouped from a shoulder injury and only found emergency minutes late in the season after Kyle Lowry went down with injury.
