I like Powell. RHJ is a better defender and rebounds like a crazy person for a GF, but despite what I said (and meant) about RHJ's future with the team in his SW thread an hour ago, I'm gonna take a flyer on a guy that has stepped up big, multiple times, for an actual contender and just hope it pays off down the road.
Accept.

Don't know much about RHJ but I hear a lot about Powell living in Canada. Based on that and because Billy got a steal of draft pick with him as 2nd round pick it seems Billy might be losing a bit. But in Billy we trust. Accept

ehhh powell has been great, but I would much rather have RHJ. but its so hard projecting these guys at a young age, definetly think RHJ has a higher ceiling and I like Billy's side of the trade a lot more. But im sure steve already knows this and must really like powell more. I like to give experienced gms the bennifit of the doubt, i accept

I remember being at a Raptors - Pelicans game & saying who in the hell is Norman Powell? I think Hollis-Jefferson has the higher ceiling but they both had promising rookie years. Flip a coin.
I accept

3 accepts. Thanks guys.
Honestly, looking at their splits and seeing what Powell did with big minutes compared to RHJ was the factor that swayed me to accept. I think they both have the potential to be legitimate starters in the NBA and will take some time to get there. RHJ's defensive ceiling is way higher, but he has a bunch of question marks on the offensive end that I don't 100% trust him to answer unless Brooklyn really starts to invest in FO/Coaches that will develop their young guys better.
Powell isn't an elite defender (as of now, at least), but I think his game is a little more well-rounded between offense and defense, so I'm gonna roll with it. BC might be right that RHJ is the better long term player, but neither guy is likely to effect my team much this year so I'm going with my gut here.
