I just hope that Norm actually isn't so worried about "breaking out" because sometimes he tries to do a little too much and above his current skillset. I think by the end of this season he can be just as valuable as a Jae Crowder or Avery Bradley and needs to find a niche kinda like Igoudala within the flow of a team because that's when those kind of guys really shine.
Not that I'm saying he shouldn't strive to exceed that as his potential because he does have the footspeed those players lack where he can become a better option driving to the basket. But I think Norm can be like one of those very high impact role players that it almost does them injustice to call them one...again like Bradley, Crowder and as you go up the scale Iggy, Draymond.
I mean if he is in fact able to add a great jumper, round out his game over the years which is what a guy at an even higher extreme, Kawhi did then yes he has great potential, obviously nowhere near Leonard but nonetheless very good. All I'm saying is he/we need to be patient (ie/ DD year 7 is very different from year 2-3 DD) and he has to be happy with trying to reach the level of Iggy even if the goal in his heart is "Kawhi" so to speak (obviously as a smaller version at that) too. Sorry for the blab but my 2c.

Norm seems prepared for a bigger role this year. Pretty sure he delivers consistent numbers with the consistent minutes he will get.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

And more importantly, just took another cap space team off the market next summer.
