Oh wow, this is awkward. Coming into the 2017-18 season, the entire Raptors organization had very high hopes for Norman Powell. The season before, Norm played in 76 regular season games, starting in 18. He averaged 8.4 points over 18.0 minutes per game. It appeared that Norm had asserted himself as a solid pillar of the Raptors redemption team. With the exit of DeMarre Carroll, P.J. Tucker, and Cory Joseph this past off-season, Norm was expected to be a shoe-in to play the wing opposite DeMar DeRozan in the Raptors’ starting lineup.
