Why? Negative DBPM in the last three seasons. Negative defensive on/off every single year except for the the last few month after the Blazers trade. Maybe Powell is marginally better but overall he has been one of the weaker defenders on a really good defensive team for most of his career. Certainly not the point of attack defender. That has been Anunoby´s, Van Vleet´s and Siakam´s role on the Raptors. Covington´s role on the Blazers.
I think both are similar players on both ends. Volume scoring/shooting on above average efficiency without any playmaking for others. Powell has a slight advantage when it comes to scoring efficiency (TS,FTAr,shooting splits) but THJs lower turnover makes up for it.
