Powell is just a good complimentary player all around

Either way, trading DeMar is akin to rebuilding. It dramatically impacts the locker room. Demar is a well liked person in the league. If he's forced out of Toronto all the goodwill built by this regime with the rest of the league is up in flames.
Back to Powell --
With his current play, it bodes well for resting DD and Ross before the playoffs. Also, he's maturing quickly into an NBA player. Both him and Wright prove that drafting Seniors is a good move for teams that want to win immediately. The Raps appear to be doing a great job scouting internationally and ALL of the NCAAs (not just the freshman).

Anybody leaves Powell to double someone else, they are going to pay, if he keeps playing like he has. And at 24, I think he has ingrained a ton of good habits and a high BBall IQ. I am not expecting a rookie wall from Norman or a sophomore slump.

As for Powell's game and the impact scouting will have, he rebounds really well, is a willing passer, is constantly moving, can hit the three if his man leaves him and has tremendous speed and body control which is going to mean transition points and finding cracks in the defense. I don't know how much you can scout that.

Powell is with the team for 2 more seasons on the current contract. This team, with the veteran support, very good assistant coaches and an obvious propensity to put time and effort into player development, and Powell who seems to have a solid work ethic, are going to ensure he continues to improve in a pretty steady arc.
I am quite excited to see what the Raptors finally wind up with in Norman.
