Norman Powell is on fire right now.
Since shaking off an early season slump on January 8th with a 22-point performance on 6-of-8 shooting in the Raptors’ dynamite win against the Sacremento Kings, Powell has been putting up the best numbers of his career.
Except, actually, he isn’t.
He’s just matching a level he’d already shown. Which means, six years after being a second round pick, Powell has matured into one of the very best scorers in the NBA. Yes, it’s true. What that means for the Raptors going forward, and for Powell himself, could prove to be one of the most interesting sub-plots of Toronto’s season.
