They are maybe a wash from 3. Norman has a little better percentage, but Timmy shoots more volume.
Is Norman a better defender than Timmy? His on/off the last two seasons has been terrible. The advanced stats say he is worse than Timmy.
They are very similar players who fit the same profile, shooters with suspect defense. Its a profile this team does not really need, which is why they have been trying to trade away Tim for two years. Why would we swap Tim for a similar player who wont make a significantly better impact on the court (recent evidence would suggest it will be worse) and will be a harder contract to get rid of?
Let's agree to disagree. Timmy over Norm Powell, on a team that has Luka + Kyrie? You're having a laugh. If you actually believe this, I don't really know how to respond to that, and so I will pass. Heck, I would also De'Anthony Melton, over THJ, (for Melton's ability to play tenacious defense on the opposing team's best guard).
