I’m sure just seeing the headline, most fans would be outraged at even entertaining the idea of trading Norman Powell. The Toronto Raptors plucked him out of the second round. After years of struggling with consistency, Powell has finally emerged as a strong two-way contributor.
On the season, Powell is averaging 16.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game. He is connecting on almost 40 percent of his 3s, while taking 5.4 per game. Not only that, but in 23 games as a starter, Powell increased his scoring average to 18.8 points per game.
