With the trade deadline on the horizon, the Detroit Pistons have been mentioned as a possibility for just about everyone, even though they’ve consistently indicated that they aren’t going to do anything big. One player who could be a comfortable middle ground would be Norman Powell of the Miami Heat.
I had not heard his name mentioned as a possibility until a recent episode of the Game Theory Podcast, when Bryce Simon dropped him as a guy who would be an ideal fit.
The Pistons need shooting and consistent secondary scoring and Powell is a certified bucket getter averaging over 23 points per game while shooting 47 percent from the floor and 39.
