I mean, given the guard hegemony that Casey has put in place I wouldn't be surprised if the team isn't actually as cohesive as we're being led to believe (watching the way the guards and bigs "defend" together doesn't really make me think these guys are on the same page), but even so i don't see where you guys are coming from with Carroll specifically.
You can already see that Powell could be an 20ppg player in the Raps system, if given the same patience and opportunity as DeMar was afforded. After one breakout season, Norm could be in line for CJ McCollum money ($23-29M/yr), if not more because of his defense.
This Woj bomb from the Bulls dysfunction sums it up nicely.....
"The Bulls are full of unhappy players," said Wojnarowski. "With the superstars unhappy with the role players and the role players unhappy with the superstars, privately charging them with playing buddy ball, sources say. A two-man game that they believe often intentionally involves no one else."

He hasn't had great efficiency in these starts, and opponents aren't game planning him too crazily I'd assume.
Not to mention it's a three game sample size.
Look at a guy like Harrison Barnes. His usage shot up from 16% to 27% and now he's a 20ppg guy - and yes, his efficiency dropped as would Powell's. But if you gave Powell DeMar's 30% USG and got the rest of the team to buy into supporting his game, it would be hard for him not to score 20ppg in the Raps system.

The point is that in a system as guard dominated as the Raps, a half decent starting SG should be easily above 18ppg with 20ppg being not that hard to achieve. Ross could probably do it, too. It's not as hard as you think. It comes down to the coach allowing the player to have that high usage, and the team working to maximize his strengths.

However, the way it's being posted in these forums sounds as if people believe that not only could he average 20, he could do it while having a positive impact on the team.
There's a ton of players in the league that can average 20 when given enough usage, but it's not gonna lead to W's (Harrison Barnes/Monta Ellis' whole career).
I guess I'm just annoyed of people slotting him in as a career #2 option on a team, which is something he might achieve one day, but he certainly isn't there yet. I feel like Powell's being slightly overrated in these forums.

I'm very disappointed with demarre carol, very surprised of his play. Maybe play more Norman and less Corey Joseph..instead of Carroll,I still like his basketball IQ, but he hasn't been playing that good with raptors organization."Never apologize for coming to me. Office hours are for patients.

We already know Powell deserves Carroll's minutes and Delon is ready to take Corey's

Or did MU, not listen to them? Too many unknowns. Either way, we don't have anyone else with enough size/speed to guard the beastly wings we are going to face in the playoffs. Just gotta hope he plays out of this funk. I'd be happy if he just focused on stepping up his defence in time for the playoffs. If the shot doesn't drop we have lots of other options.
