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?

    Yeah idk what happened but norm hasnt been a good defender since Toronto. I remember in his opening press conference/interview he said defense was he broke into the rotation in Toronto and was excited to show that hear. But man it’s been over a year and I have to see him have success on the defensive end of the ball when he’s not gambling for steals.
