How the Miami Heat managed to pry Norman Powell away from the LA Clippers, for pennies on the dollar, still has to be confusing for everyone in the front office. It was head-scratching when it happened, and that sentiment has only grown even more through the first week of the season. That's because Powell has continued to be one of the best - and most efficient - scorers in the league.
For the Heat, Powell has been the team's leading scorer through his first three games played. He missed Wednesday night's game against the Charlotte Hornets due to soreness, but there's no question he's emerged as a season-saver for the Heat with the absence of Tyler Herro.
