Welcome to the Raptors Power Ranking Poll, a column where we ask: Are the Raptors being ranked fairly?
Credit due to illustrious tweeter Gourmet Spud for making the point this way first, it's clear the Raptors have something special in Norman Powell. In case you hadn't noticed, we've been going rather wild about him as of late -- ever since Powell put up a stretch of six games (and counting) in which he scored in double digits and almost never looked like he didn't belong. For a franchise that routinely misses out on second round picks (quick, name one that worked out) and has a history of borking first round picks one way or the other, the rise of Powell feels of a piece for Toronto's rise this season.
