Portland Trail Blazers guard Norman Powell is 13 games into his tenure with the team, and if the Blazers front office has their way in this summer’s contract negotiations, the former NBA champion will be around for much longer. For observers seeking to learn more about the newly-acquired guard, Jason Quick of The Athletic released a piece today, discussing the ways Portland is seeking to make Powell feel appreciated in such a short time span, the promises Powell made to his family, and his journey towards becoming a solidified NBA contributor.
As it relates to on-court play, Quick makes mention of how the Blazers’ organization sought to make Powell feel at home, even prior to his arrival in Portland.
