Norman Powell has been with the Portland Trail Blazers for about a month after joining the team via trade at the NBA Trade Deadline. He came to this team with the ability to be a bona fide third option on offense and at least an average defender. It was a risky trade, with the dark cloud of unrestricted free agency looming in the distance, but if it pans out, it could be one of the better moves of Neil Olshey’s tenure.
Individually, Powell has been all right since joining Portland. He’s averaging 17.6 points per game with a true shooting percentage of 57.
