Semi OT: Norm Powell is having a career year 

Post#1 » by MessiahUjiri » Sun Dec 8, 2024 11:48 pm

One of the things that hasn’t gotten enough attention is our boy Norm Powell’s career year.

Kawhi’s out and Paul George left in free agency, but the Clips are a top 6 playoff team in a tough West.

At 31, Norm is scoring 24ppg on 50% shooting and 50% 3pt (!!).

Remember when he came into the league and he couldn’t really shoot well? Hes come such a long way. Send him love on his social media. He reads them.

Yeah he’s been trending to elite shooter status for a while just needed to stay healthy. What’s also impressive is his driving ability and attacking the basket seems very refined as well. At least it did against us.

I drafted him for $3 in my keeper auction league, knowing he had a great chance at putting up big numbers with more opportunity this year. Paying off big time right now. Very happy to see Norm be consistent and get recognized for it too.

Norm is one of my all time favorite raptors who got better every year. I don't know why our coaches hated him.

Younger and "cheaper" Trent already off the team while Norm is having a career year. It was an odd trade.

Imagine being Portland. We at least got a player who played minutes.

Locking though. Please take to former raptors thread.
