"That is the way he's been thought of most of his career, and it's fair to want to shed that label after he did play like a star in Los Angeles last season, when he posted a career high 21.8 points per game and 179 made 3-pointers. He probably should have been an All-Star last year. His numbers may have actually undersold how impactful and consistently awesome he was for the Clippers, who relied on him as their No. 1 scorer with Kawhi Leonard mostly absent."
"In Miami, he's definitely get a chance to continue that high-level scoring because, well, the Heat don't have tons of offensive firepower elsewhere. Of course, we know what Tyler Hero and Andrew Wiggins will provide, but Powell being a 20-plus point per night guy once more and letting Wiggins be a great No. 3 option is probably how the Heat maximize this roster. A bounceback year from Terry Rozier would complicate rotations (in a good way), but we'll cross that bridge if we get there."
Norman Powell produced a breakout season in Los Angeles, averaging a career-high 21.8 points per game and making 179 three-pointers. He delivered star-level production when asked to be the primary scorer, often filling the void with Kawhi Leonard absent. Powell aims to shed the supporting-cast label and earn All-Star recognition. In Miami, Powell projects to assume high-level scoring responsibility alongside Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins, potentially operating as a 20-plus point per game focal point. Powell also set a team objective to avoid the play-in, combining personal and collective goals for the coming season.
