"We are over four months removed from the Miami Heat acquiring guard Norman Powell in a three-team trade from the Los Angeles Clippers, only having to consolidate Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love, two fringe rotation players. So far, while the Heat offense has teetered around the middle-of-the-pack, Powell's Heat tenure has been a resounding A so far, so much so that not only has Powell has been one of the NBA's most impactful scorers through 15 games."
"Not to mention, Powell has scored more points in his 12 games than any other player in their first 12 games with the Heat in franchise history. Norman Powell - 305 Alonzo Mourning - 278 LeBron James - 275 Kevin Willis - 237 Shaquille O'Neal - 234 Correlation doesn't equal causation, but when he's on the floor, the team owns a 120.7 offensive rating compared to a 113.8 when he's off. And this has come without Tyler Herro - plus Bam Adebayo for six games."
Norman Powell has averaged 25.4 points through his first 15 games with the Miami Heat, ranking second among notable offseason arrivals. Powell recorded 305 points in his first 12 Heat games, the most in franchise history for that span. Miami's offensive rating sits at 120.7 when Powell is on the floor compared to 113.8 when he is off. Powell has produced strong scoring bursts late in games and often sets the tone early, performing effectively even with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo unavailable for stretches.
