Powell has definitely impressed the past few weeks. He had a good summer league for the Raps, good to see he's stuck with it and is now a rotation player. Took his chance when Carroll when down and has run with it. Be interesting to see how they play this upcoming back-to-back in Memphis/SA. Might be wise to sit a bunch of guys for the Spurs game, although Pop might do the same making it a wash. Spurs also broke the 95-96 Bulls record by starting the year 38-0 at home, though you'd expect the Warriors to match that shortly.
Speaking of Carroll, apparently he's going to be back before the end of the season?
Quote:
Toronto Raptors forward DeMarre Carroll expects to rejoin the active roster before the regular season ends in less than two weeks. Carroll has been sidelined since Jan. 4 after he had surgery to repair a right knee injury.
"Hopefully I’m going to try to play a couple games before the end of the season," Carroll told reporters, according to TSN.ca. "That’s the goal. We’re going to try to ramp it up a lot this week to try to get some conditioning back. But the way I play, I play like a dog. When you play like a dog, you can’t go out there being passive. I don’t want to be a poodle out there. I want to be like a bulldog."
