L.A. Clippers guard emerging as a star Norman Powell not satisfied with his stellar start: “I’m focused on how I can improve.”.
Scores team-high 26 points in win Powell accumulated 26 points (8-10 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 victory over Philadelphia.
Impact Powell has become the heir apparent to Paul George's missing production, and he got the opportunity to show his former teammate what he can do in person. Powell drilled six three-pointers in the win, showcasing his sharpshooting skills once again after draining five from deep in his previous game. He's converting 40.8 percent of his shots from downtown, resulting in career-high scoring averages for the veteran.

Keeps impressive streak alive Powell totaled 23 points (7-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and three steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 113-104 win over San Antonio.
Impact Powell has now scored at least 20 points in six games in a row, and there's a strong argument to say he's been the Clippers' best offensive weapon in the first two weeks of the season, ahead of Ivica Zubac and even James Harden. Powell is making the most of his time as a starter, putting up 24.9 points per game while shooting 50.8 percent from the floor.

Keeps streak alive Saturday Powell finished with 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Saturday's 105-92 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Powell has been the Clippers' best scoring threat in the early stages of the season, even ahead of James Harden. This was his fifth straight contest with at least 20 points, including two in which he reached the 30-point plateau. During that five-game stretch, Powell is averaging a blistering 26.8 points per contest while shooting an impressive 54.8 percent from the floor.

Continues solid run in loss Powell posted 23 points (9-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 loss to the Suns.
Impact With a first-unit role assured, Powell has a career year in store. He's never averaged over 19 points per season in his career, and he's soaring about six points over that number right now. For this season, Powell is the team's most sensible answer for Paul George's departure, and he's delivering the goods nightly.

Leads team with 30 points Powell chipped in 30 points (11-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 106-105 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact After a productive evening, Powell had a chance to take the lead with less than a minute to go, but Deni Avdija blocked his shot attempt that could have given the Clippers the lead. Although it takes more than one player to account for Paul George's lost production, Powell is carrying much of the load in a starting role Powell and Derrick Jones are both plugging holes with some success, with Jones filling in during Kawhi Leonard's (shoulder) extended absence.

Explodes for 37 points Powell scored 37 points (14-21 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding three rebounds and a steal across 33 minutes in Saturday's 109-104 win over the Nuggets.
Impact The Clippers needed someone to step up in this game after the Nuggets stormed a third-quarter comeback, and Powell answered the call to lead the Clippers with 26 of his 37 points in the second half. Powell is not going to hover around the 30-point mark on a regular basis, but it's not out of the question to see him operate as the Clippers' second scoring option while Kawhi Leonard (knee) is out. Over his first two outings this season, Powell has scored a combined 54 points while shooting 19-for-37 from the floor.

Goes for 17 points in opener Powell contributed 17 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 overtime loss to Phoenix.
Impact Powell had the distinction of converting the first regular-season shot at the newly-minted Intuit Dome, but the team was unable to garner the first win in their new arena. Powell often performed as a sixth man during his tenure with the Clippers, but Paul George's departure thrusts him into a full-time role. Powell and Derrick Jones will be critical pieces of the offense as they struggle to replace George and Kawhi Leonard (shoulder), who has no timetable for a return. Although Powell's fantasy value was limited in the past, his role with the Clippers' first unit increases his viability.
