Should this truly be the end of the 2019-20 NBA season, as disappointing as that may be,fans should take some solace knowing the year their team was putting together was shaping up to be a special one.
His growth into the Raptors’ No. 1 option has been a roller-coaster, with times where he’s looked comfortable roasting opponents for 30-plus points, and others where he’s seemed lost as to how to make the adjustment to being atop opposing teams’ scouting reports, and unable to get uncorked when double teams come his way.
Anunoby has been Toronto’s most consistent defender and it’s on this end where his value to the team has proven the greatest. Undrafted out of Ole Miss, Toronto was lucky enough to sign him after watching him play just one summer league game. Last season, because of the additions of Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green, he was moved to the bench more permanently and appeared to struggle. But this season as he’s moved into his bench role – and has been forced to start because of team injuries – Powell’s appeared focused and comfortable as, essentially, the Raptors’ primary reserve gunner.
Injuries aside, Powell has been spectacular off the bench for the Raptors this season, and appears to have finally found a home for himself as a reserve.There are quite a few candidates for the award on the Raptors, but the leap in production and the increased role Siakam has taken on this season are impossible to ignore.
