Bench Grades

Shooting Guard. Toronto Raptors. NORMAN POWELL. B+. “A little bit of everything” is how I’d best describe Powell’s game. 12 points, seven rebounds, three steals, an assist and a block. Obviously, it’s nice when Powell goes off for 20+ points but what Toronto really needs from him is a consistent 10-15 points a night, and he’s giving to them on a regular basis now, after being plagued by inconsistency early on in his career. He went 0-4 from three, just the second time Powell has failed to make a three since returning from injury.

Toronto Raptors. PATRICK MCCAW. C. McCaw was playing his second game since missing three with a fractured nose. Sporting the mask made famous by <a rel=. Shooting Guard

B-. Davis only attempted four shots but made two, including one from beyond the arc. The undrafted rookie was a Rising Stars snub earlier in the day. The most impressive part of Davis’ game against Detroit was his defensive effort; twice he blocked Pistons’ players’ attempts at the rim.. Shooting Guard. Toronto Raptors. TERENCE DAVIS

CHRIS BOUCHER. A-. No Gasol and no RHJ gave Boucher an opportunity that the lanky forward took full advantage of to the tune of eight points, seven rebounds and three blocks. While he continues to struggle with his shot, Boucher’s development in pick-and-roll scenarios allows him to contribute on offence even when his outside shot isn’t falling. He’ll continue to see regular minutes as long as Gasol and Hollis-Jefferson remain out.. Power Forward. Toronto Raptors
