In just his second year, this former George Mason U standout has emerged as a certified star in the league. Norwood improved his average from 11.5 ppg in his rookie year to 13.8 ppg last season. But more than his scoring was his defensive effort that has been drawing much attention. No wonder he’s a back-to-back member of the All-Defensive Team. Norwood topped the most minutes played with 38.6 per game while his 1.4 steals per game ranked second. The 6-5 high-leaper started in all but one in his 51 games last season and expect him to continue to play a major role for the franchise in years to come.
