Powell Named To All-NBA Summer League First Team

The National Basketball Association announced Sunday that Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell has been named to the All-NBA Summer League 2015 First Team, as selected by a panel of media members.

Powell averaged 18.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 25.5 minutes in four outings. He shot .509 (27-53) from the field and .444 (4-9) from three-point range. He led the team in scoring in all four games, including 20 points in Toronto’s opener versus Sacramento.

Powell, 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, was selected in the second-round (46th overall) by Toronto in the 2015 NBA Draft. He averaged 16.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 36 games last season as a senior at UCLA. He was named first-team All-Pac-12 and an Honourable Mention selection on the All-Pac-12 Defensive Team.

Powell joined Kyle Anderson (San Antonio), Seth Curry (New Orleans), Doug McDermott (Chicago) and T.J. Warren (Phoenix) as members of the All-NBA Summer League 2015 First Team.
