"Since his preseason debut, there's not much that Powell has done wrong. Through the first two regular-season games, Powell is averaging 22 points, eight rebounds, and three assists per game on 48 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent shooting from 3-point range. Norman Powell is making Heat fans forget about Tyler Herro He's been productive enough for the Heat so far this year that they haven't missed Herro all that much."
"Because if Powell is able to be just as productive as Herro for a percentage of his cost, it's only natural for the Heat to completely rethink their upcoming decision on his future. And, in turn, perhaps it could open up so many more possibilities for Miami. Either way, by the end of the season, something has to give for the Heat. They're going to be forced to make a decision one way or another."
Norman Powell has delivered efficient, high-level production for the Heat, averaging 22 points, eight rebounds, and three assists early in the season while shooting well from the field and three-point range. Powell's performance has reduced the immediate impact of Tyler Herro's absence and created a viable, lower-cost option. Contract timelines complicate the situation: Herro has two years remaining, while Powell is in the final year of his deal. Comparable production from Powell could prompt the Heat to prioritize cap flexibility and pursue a superstar, forcing a clear roster decision by season's end.
