Isn’t Norm now basically a Lou Williams who shoots better from three (that man can be a bit of a chucker!), and actually plays defense?!?! This is insaaaaaaaaane
And to think Lou Williams thought the DEFENSE Raptors would offer him a contract 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🠘‚😂😂😂😂😂

I think Lowry was 26 when he got traded to TO. Powell is now 26.
Harden was on Okc as bench player,very offensive,but didn't get a lot of playing time..
I don't mind Powell scoring,but he is chucker,everyone can score,can u make other players better..assists,rebounding,blocking,steals,defensi ve and so one..he still doesn't bring that. I like Norm,but his good off the bench,if he improves the other things,then were talking,but as of right now..his perfect where his at..bench player."Never apologize for coming to me. Office hours are for patients.

I've been saying for a long time that Powell can put up the same scoring numbers as FVV if Nurse gave him a longer leash and consistent minutes. Terence Davis also has that potential. Confidence from the coach, consistent minutes and role definition is a huge factor in player development. When you're a bench player and the coach gives you 8-10 minutes to "show him something", you tend to force the issue instead of letting the game come to you. Powell had a rough first shift yesterday, and in earlier days, he would have been nailed to the bench by Nurse. But he knew that he'd get back in the game and the ball found him in the flow of the offense.
McCaw, on the other hand, is getting those consistent minutes and he's basically exposing his talent level as being sub-par, at least for a championship contender. McCaw should have stayed on the Cavs... nobody would have noticed.

Scoring this efficiently is pretty crazy and probably won't keep up, but it's certainly fun while it's happening. 117 iORTG with a >20% usage. Crazy.

this comes with an asterisk as best trade because its actually more drafting that gets credit imo. Sure the 2 assets was an overpay on bucks part but masai turned pick turned picks 23 and 46 into really good pros. Norm Powell could easily be Joe blow playing in the Italian league right now
Certainly you are right that the specific value of OG is way above what could reasonably have been projected from a generic late 1st rounder. And of course the Raptors' development team always gets credit for stuff like this.

Worth noting that the trade was made on draft night specifically for the Raptors to draft Powell. Such that Powell was officially drafted by the Bucks on the Raptors' behalf. So it wasn't just trading for a mid-2nd rounder, it was trading for Powell specifically (and hilariously getting a 1st round pick a couple years later in the process).

Still fact remains, Norm Powell could still easily be Norm Powell playing in the italian league right now
One thing Norm, Fred, Pascal all have in common noticeably over Delon, Bruno, and seemingly OG - and insatiable hunger and work ethic9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
