2017 NBA Manifesto
Norman Powell
SG, 6’4, 215lbs, 24 years old, 2 years of experience
Powell had an excellent year, punctuated by a particularly excellent playoff run. He earned his way into higher and higher spots in the rotation as the year went on with his aggressive, tough defence, and with his frenetic offensive pace. Powell’s shot was streaky all year; indeed, Powell’s everything was streaky all year, including the defence towards the end. But when on the good half of those streaks, he is a very good NBA player. It is a blessing that he has one more season of minimum salary remaining, but make sure there is some money available to keep him around afterwards.
Player Plan: Has an unguaranteed minimum salary contract for next season, which is a very easy one to keep. Restricted free agency after that, though, which will be less easy.
