The Boston Celtics have recently added a notable player to their roster by signing forward Miles Norris to a two-way contract. Standing at 6’7″, Norris previously showcased his skills with the Memphis Hustle in the NBA G League. Over 36 games, spanning the regular season and the Tip-Off Tournament, he consistently impressed with an average of 17.1 points and 5.5 rebounds. Notably, Norris demonstrated his sharpshooting ability by sinking 38.6 percent of his shots from beyond the arc, hitting 119 out of 308 attempts.
Norris brings with him a strong basketball pedigree. He played alongside current Celtic Payton Pritchard during his time at the University of Oregon. However, he completed his college basketball journey at UC-Santa Barbara, where he earned a spot on the All-Big West Second Team as a senior. During the 2022-23 season, he averaged 14.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game, maintaining a commendable three-point shooting percentage of 39.1%.
For the Celtics, Norris will don the number 44 jersey, and fans will be eager to see how his skills translate to the NBA stage. As Norris begins this new chapter in Boston, there’s plenty of anticipation surrounding what he can contribute to the team’s dynamic.
