"Powell has been awesome for the Heat this season. For a team that needed an infusion of offense after the way last season ended, he's been that and then some, leading the team in scoring (outside of Herro, who has only been back for two games). Not only that, but Powell is also taking more shots than anyone else on Miami's roster this year, and they managed to snag him in a trade without giving up any first-round picks or core assets."
"Powell has appeared in 15 of the Heat's 19 games for Miami this season, starting all of them and playing 30.4 minutes per contest (second on the team behind Andrew Wiggins). He is averaging 24.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 49.4% from the floor and 44.1% from deep range on 6.8 three-point attempts per contest."
Miami acquired Norman Powell for Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson, and a second-round pick and added a high-impact scorer without surrendering first-round picks or core assets. Powell has started 15 of 19 games, averaging 30.4 minutes and 24.5 points while shooting 49.4% overall and 44.1% from three on 6.8 attempts per game. He leads Miami in shot attempts and has supplied the offense missing due to Tyler Herro's extended absence. Miami sits near the top of the Eastern Conference standings with Powell as a primary offensive option. John Collins has not produced similar impact for the Clippers, and Los Angeles has been among the West's weaker teams.
