Bledsoe is a 6'1" guard, he needed to show he could be a lead guard, not a pure PG but a guy you can give the ball to on the right team. Powell is 6'4"
It could help his stock, but he does not have PG skills. He is an attacking 2 guard. Let him work on developing a consistent outside shot and not worry about learning how to run a team, that is how he can boost his stock. I see too many people trying to fit a square peg (Powell) into a round hole (Point guard).Last edited by WJF; Tue Jul 14, 2015, 11:43 AM.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

He has average size for the NBA off guard spot and that is where he should stay. No reason he can't play with Lowry, it is not like he is Lou Williams on Defence. Besides, he will be a second/third unit guy right now, he will play with Joseph and Wright in the back court, not Kyle.

Then there was the one on one, faceup block on a jumper in last night's game...havent seen one of those by a player his size. The only caveat here is these games are not the NBA so there's that...but remarkable all around talent including mental it seems...at #46.

He needs to work on his shot, that is all.
He is a very very solid backup sg right now. And is showing more than enough skills to warrant a place on an nba team coming off the bench as probably the third guy for now.
He would be a valuable asset to the raptors because he gives a tenacious defender to go up against in practice

Can have coaches to help, and I am sure players will go to train there as well.
You dont give a guy pg duties just so he can work on shooting off the dribble, that is nonsense. Rest of the team will just hang out and watch Powell practice.
a point guards job is to initiate the offense, and alot of pgs that shoot well, shoot specifically off spot up kickouts.
