Norman Powell named to All-NBA Summer League Second Team

It's not the Most Valuable Player award and the championship that Norman Powell was hoping before, but the Las Vegas Summer League once again recognized Powell's summer dominance on Sunday, naming him to the All-NBA Summer League Second Team.Powell made the First Team a season ago, but a panel of media members decided he was only among the 10 best, rather than five best, this time around.The truth is that Powell showed he's too advanced for this setting, although there's plenty of good reason to still have him there if you're the Toronto Raptors.Taking on a primary ball-handling role in the offense and generally drawing the toughest defensive assignment, Powell averaged 19.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and one steal while hitting 12 of his 26 3-point attempts, getting to the line seven times per-game, and somehow improving his offensive efficiency metrics from last summer.
