    He’s 6’3” 215 lbs can defend and is awesome shooter. Can score in other ways too.

    Trail Blazers fans will love this stat about sharpshooter Norman Powell (yahoo.com)< The title should be "Thank You Gary Trent", "Thank You Rodney Hood".
    The Raptors got two good players too.
    From the Powell perspective>< It's a good trade because he is consistent, plays D and is a focused team player. Besides all that, we have another roster opening. Don't blame him on being small. Dame & CJ are in the same height range. He may be that factor in close 4 to 6 point games when it's under a minute to play when we need a sharpshooter or defensive asset.

    Stotts will cure Powell of that playing D problem.

    For the month of March, Little was already averaging 18-22 minutes per game before the Hood trade.
    So I am not sure if Neil really forced Terry's hand here.

    I see. Stotts is like the effect of two magnets in a field facing opposite poles.

    Why does Olshey have adding size? Is it because he isn't good at judging it for talent or does he really just like small ball that much? I mean Powell is a good get, but it doesn't do a thing to our playoff hopes. Can he guard Davis at 7' if we get to play them? Nobody else on the team can...and yes I know the league has a hard time as well but we in particular have no chance at slowing him down.

    Is Norman Powell a player that could make CJ expandable for a big off-season trade? He would probably come cheaper.

    All I hear is he was a " lock down" defender who added a 3 point shot. So yes, according to ex-players now in the media, he is an excellent defender is currently a lights out shooter. Begs the question why the raptors wanted him out, but who knows. I am sure he has shortcomings.

    Trent may have a little more youth and potential on his side, but right now Powell is better in every way. A good deal especially since we probably would have lost Gary for nothing.

    Plus he fits our timeline better. Now is the time to peak if we are even going to attempt to make a run.

    Not sure if he's an excellent defender, at least not anymore. But not like Gary was stifling in that department either.

    Stotts thinks a mop bucket is a good defender.
