"When the Miami Heat acquired Norman Powell, they equipped head coach Erik Spoelstra with one of the most efficient scorers in the NBA. Powell turns touches into points at an unrivaled rate, and shoots the lights out in virtually every respect. For a Heat team that lacks a superstar scorer until Bam Adebayo or Tyler Herro prove otherwise, Powell's league-leading touch-to-point ratio will be essential."
"Powell finished the 2024-25 season ranked No. 1 in the NBA in points per touch-by a massive margin. Powell checked in at .509 points per touch, with Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. ranking second at a distant .460. Considering Jackson is a 6'10" and 242-pound big and Powell is a 6'4" and 215-pound wing, the margin is even crazier to consider."
"One of the driving forces behind Powell's success was his elite ability to work without the ball and convert catch-and-shoot opportunities. Powell buried 45.2 percent of his catch-and-shoot three-point field goals in 2024-25, which is especially impressive considering he attempted 4.0 per game. Among players who attempted at least 4.0 catch-and-shoot three-point field goals per contest, only Kevin Durant and Isaiah Joe converted a higher percentage than Pow"
Norman Powell led the NBA in points per touch in 2024-25 with .509 points per touch, a substantial margin over the next player. Powell averaged 21.8 points per game while shooting .484/.418/.804 and has averaged at least 17.0 points in four of the past five seasons across three franchises. Powell excels working without the ball and converted 45.2 percent of catch-and-shoot three-point attempts on 4.0 attempts per game. The size contrast with other top players underscores the unusual efficiency, and his scoring profile complements Miami's current roster needs.
