I’m a bit confused with Norm Powell. Is he really a 2 way player?
I see him get beat off the dribble. He can’t really help rebound in the paint. Maybe he makes good rotations on defense?
There were several times over the past few games where I would’ve subbed Mann or Russ for Norm just for defense.
Lue had plenty of timeouts also to enable offense / defense substitutions.
What evidence is there that Norm is a plus defender?
Spacing for offense at least he’s always favored norm and I know we have sucked lately but norm has made timely baskets even if he goes like 2-11 you can bet he will be closing the game if the team is struggling for baskets like we have been recently.
