Broderick Turner of The Los Angeles Times highlights Norman Powell, the Clippers’ swingman, as a strong contender for the Sixth Man of the Year award.
Powell stands out among bench players, ranking third in scoring, second in both field goal and three-point shooting percentages, and fourth in minutes played per game.
Expressing his thoughts on the potential accolade, Powell stated, “I think it would be amazing. It would mean a lot to me. It would acknowledge my contribution to the team and my ability to step up and contribute to wins, reflecting the hard work I’ve put in over the years.”
Powell emphasized his journey as an underdog, always having to prove himself and earn his spot on the team, even after successful seasons.
“I feel like I’ve always been an underdog, having to earn my stripes and my spot. Even when I do really well one season, the next season it’s not automatically given. I’ve got to work to get it and prove myself.”
Veteran guard Isaiah Thomas, who just signed a 10-day deal with Phoenix, hopes to play a few more years in the NBA. That + more from the Pacific. https://t.co/APuSPVl8Qs
