"Powell should give Herro and Bam the exact supplementary scoring punch that the team just didn't have last season, while taking significant pressure off both of them in crunch time. Through the first few weeks of this season, Powell has averaged 26 points and four rebounds per game on a blistering 48 percent shooting from 3-point range. That's probably not going to be a consistent trend all year long, but it just goes to show how productive and efficient Powell can be."
"He's already traveling with the team, and there's at least a non-zero chance that he makes his debut for the Heat on Monday in New York against the Knicks. I have my doubts about whether that's the right spot for Herro to make his debut, but there is some smoke surrounding that possibility. Regardless of whether Herro makes his season debut in New York on Monday or not, the bottom line is that he's close."
Norman Powell has emerged as a potent scoring option, averaging 26 points and four rebounds early in the season while shooting 48 percent from three. Powell's scoring and efficiency can supply the supplementary punch that Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo lacked, reducing their late-game scoring burden. Miami's offense functions well without Herro, holding a borderline top‑10 offensive rating and ranking among the top five scoring teams. Herro is traveling with the team and could return imminently, possibly debuting in New York against the Knicks. The team is near full strength, and offensive production projects to remain strong.
