"Despite what the public perception may be, the Miami Heat players aren't resigned to the idea that this season is supposed to be a "gap" year for the team. In fact, newcomer Norman Powell is saying exactly what Heat fans may want to hear - that the Heat should be "feared" and that he's a budding star himself. In a recent interview, Powell didn't hold back when asked about the team's expectations this season."
"He noted how he believes the Heat can be really good this year, and that he could stand out as a star-like player with his skill set. He's entering this season with a big chip on his shoulder. And so are the Heat. Now that training camp is in full swing, it's pretty clear that there aren't a ton of expectations on the Heat's shoulders. That could work in their favor."
Norman Powell projects confidence, declaring the Miami Heat should be feared and positioning himself as a budding star. Training camp shows low external expectations, which could benefit the team that embraces an under-the-radar role in the Eastern Conference. The Heat will need Powell to step up, especially with Tyler Herro likely sidelined for at least the first month of the regular season. Powell enters the year coming off his best statistical season and appears mentally prepared to build on that production. The acquisition of Powell is expected to provide immediate offensive and leadership dividends.
