Norris Cole is a good backup guard and keeps improving every year. In a stat sheet of the Basketball Reference, every year, Norris Cole was able to show improvements. Last season, he had a great performance averaging a career high 10.6 points and 3.7 assists per game while coming off the bench.
If Cole would be acquired by the Cleveland Cavaliers, he would definitely stretch the defense and allow LeBron James to penetrate the driving lane or the low-post area. Norris Cole has a 3-point shooting percentage of 32%, tied with Kyrie Irving.
Norris Cole had all the skills of a point guard that every team is looking for. Cole is a true point guard with a high basketball IQ, above average perimeter shooting and is a threat outside the arc.
If Coach Lue decides to put Kyrie in a shooting guard position in some situation, Norris Cole can be very handful to the playmaking job. Cole also possesses a good passing perception with a good passing ability.
Overall, Norris Cole would be a great help to the Cavaliers as they step on the court to defend their title. With LeBron James and his crew, it's no doubt that they can win another NBA ring.
