Everything Norman Powell
Westbrook was drafted to be a PG because he showed the skills in college, he just happened to share a back court with a smaller PG in Collison. Bledsoe, Curry, etc were all drafted to be PGs because they had the skills. Can you provide any examples of a guy drafted as a SG and transitioning to PG as a non-rookie? Harden is the first example and is unique. He played a lot on ball at Arizona State and quite possibly would have been a PG if they didn't have Westbrook at OKC. His skills are also incredibly high, higher than Powell I'd dare say and he's always played as more of a blend.
Powell looks to be a very good SG - defends well, shot improving, decent handles and great intensity. So why are people so set on putting him at a harder position that would turn a relative strength on the wing (handles) into a weakness at the point? Especially since we have 4 PGs on the roster already!
