Shanxi Men s Basketball Team Signs, Former NBA Fighter Swinger Nowell joins strongly

According to Emiliano Carchia, a well-known European basketball reporter, the CBA Shanxi Fenjiu Men's Basketball Team has completed a key signing and officially signed backcourt player Jaylen Norwell with NBA resume. The forward guard swinger, who is about to turn 26 in July, will inject strong fresh blood into the backcourt of Shanxi team.

Nower is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 91 kg, and has both scoring and organizational skills. In the 2019 NBA Draft, he was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 43rd pick in the second round, thus starting his NBA journey. During his time in the league, Norwell joined the Timberwolves, the Detroit Pistons, the Memphis Grizzlies and the New Orleans Pelicans, and accumulated rich practical experience. This season, he played 8 regular season games for the Pelicans, effectively contributing 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in an average of 21 minutes of playing time, showing his plug-and-play combat power.

For most of this season, Norwell played for the Capital City GO-GO team, the Washington Wizards' Development League affiliate team. He completely released his offensive firepower in the G League, averaging 24.6 points per game in 31 games, and also sent 5.4 assists and 4.3 rebounds, making him an all-round scorer. What is even more amazing is his shooting efficiency - his three shooting percentages are as high as 52.6% (shooting), 48.2% (three-pointers) and 90% (free throws) respectively, joining the terrifying "180 Club", proving his top shooting stability and scoring explosiveness.

Nower joins the Shanxi Men's Basketball Team, which has multiple value to the team's tactical system:

Scarce outside firepower: its three-point shooting percentage in the G League is close to 50%, which can effectively fill the outside scoring vacancy at critical moments of Shanxi's team;

The ability to hold the ball: 5.4 assists per game proves that he is by no means a pure scorer, and can share Feld's organizational pressure;

The combat power of the year when playing: the age of 26 is in the golden period of his sports career, with both physical and technical maturity, which can seamlessly connect the intensity of the CBA confrontation.

Shanxi team had fierce offensive firepower last season but unfortunately stopped in the playoff playoffs. Nowell's all-round skills are expected to become the team's key puzzle for breaking through the bottleneck. Can this forward and guard player who has been tempered by the NBA and shine in the Development League, continue to perform efficiently in the CBA and help the Shanxi Men's Basketball Team go further? The spotlight of the new season has been focused on him.
