SAN FRANCISCO — Had Zach Norvell Jr. known his NBA career would start like this, he’d still be at Gonzaga, quite possibly as the best player on one of the best college teams in the country.
Instead, he unexpectedly went undrafted in June and spent most of this season toiling in the G League. After signing a 10-day contract with the Warriors last Saturday, Norvell is now getting the opportunity he thought he’d get in October.
Error 0:
Norvell, 22, spent three years at Gonzaga before deciding to go pro. A high-volume scorer with a propensity to get hot for entire halves at a time, he was projected by most as a high second-round pick in last summer’s NBA Draft.
