Norman Powell"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Rookies are often the players who experience the most significant progress throughout their <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NBA<\/a> careers. Between their first and second seasons, it&rsquo;s common to see notable scoring improvements for many players.<\/p><p>However, when a player entering his 10th NBA season, like Norman Powell, achieves such growth, it&rsquo;s worth highlighting.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beneficial Absences<\/strong><\/h2><p>For Norman Powell, the absence of Kawhi Leonard and <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/paul-george-injury-update-philadelphia-76ers-star-exits-game-against-memphis-grizzlies-with-left-knee-injury\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Paul George<\/a>&rsquo;s move to the 76ers have allowed him to take on a larger role and greater responsibilities within the Clippers&rsquo; lineup.<\/p><p>With an impressive <strong>.487 three-point shooting percentage<\/strong>, Powell has become a real weapon from beyond the arc for Los Angeles.<\/p><p>Twice finishing fourth for the NBA&rsquo;s Sixth Man of the Year award, Powell has seen a significant scoring surge this season, nearly returning to the averages he posted during the 2021-22 season with the same Clippers.<\/p><p>In the 2023-24 season, Powell averaged 13.9 points per game compared to his current 23.3 points per game after 15 games this season.<\/p><p>This +9.4 points per game jump represents an excellent season-to-season improvement.<\/p><p>Yet in the history of the NBA, there are even bigger jumps. Much bigger.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Top 10 Biggest Scoring Improvements in NBA History<\/strong><\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. Walt Hazzard (1967-1968): +14.72 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>After switching teams between the 1967-68 and 1968-69 seasons, Walt Hazzard experienced a tremendous scoring improvement.<\/p><p>This leap earned him his first and only All-Star selection with the Seattle SuperSonics.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. Kelly Tripucka (1988-1989): +15.11 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>For Kelly Tripucka, a change of scenery also paid off. Moving from the Jazz to the Hornets, Tripucka saw his scoring jump from 7.5 to 22.6 points per game.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Bubbles Hawkins (1976-1977): +15.4 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>Despite a relatively short career, Hawkins experienced a massive scoring gap between his first and second years in the league.<\/p><p>Drafted in the third round by the Warriors, he joined the Nets the following season, where he increased his average from 3.9 points per game to 19.3, helped by a significant increase in playing time.<\/p><p>He ended his NBA career on November 1, 1978, after being released by the Pistons.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Bob Love (1969-1970): +15.9 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>Drafted by the Cincinnati Royals, Bob Love made his mark with the Bulls. Between the 1968-69 and 1969-70 seasons, he reached a new level, increasing his average from 5.1 points per game to 21.<\/p><p>This improvement kickstarted a career that saw him become a three-time All-Star from 1970-71 to 1972-73.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Bob Kauffman (1970-1971): +16.1 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>Once again, a team change proved beneficial. With the Bulls, Bob Kauffman had limited playing time (12.1 minutes per game) and a low scoring average (4.3 PPG). But upon joining the Buffalo Braves, he made a leap.<\/p><p>With 35 minutes per game, he averaged 20.4 points, earning him an All-Star selection.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Neil Johnston (1952-1953): +16.37 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>Hall of Famer Neil Johnston delighted fans of the Philadelphia Warriors.<\/p><p>In just his second season, Johnston became a key player, increasing his average from 6.0 to 22.3 points per game. That year, he was an All-Star and the league&rsquo;s top scorer.<\/p><p>He won an NBA title in 1956.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Tony Campbell (1989-1990): +17.0 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>Initially drafted by the Pistons, Tony Campbell played for the Lakers from 1987 to 1989.<\/p><p>But his move to the Timberwolves gave him more playing time and opportunities. Campbell&rsquo;s average jumped from 6.2 PPG to 23.2 PPG as his playing time nearly tripled from one season to the next.<\/p><p>He won an NBA title in 1988 with the Lakers.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. John Block (1967-1968): +17.3 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>After a rookie season with the Lakers where he played sparingly and scored just 2.9 PPG, John Block was sent to the San Diego Rockets.<\/p><p>There, with significantly more playing time, he achieved his career-best scoring average of 20.2 PPG.<\/p><p>He earned a lone All-Star nod in 1973.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Don May (1970-1971): +17.60 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>Drafted by the Knicks in 1968, Don May made his biggest leap with the Buffalo Braves.<\/p><p>As an NBA champion with the Knicks in 1970, he averaged only 2.6 PPG. But with the Braves, he skyrocketed to 20.2 PPG, his career-best average.<\/p><p>He spent just one season in Buffalo before moving to the Hawks.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Dale Ellis (1986-1987): +17.8 PPG<\/strong><\/h3><p>Drafted by the Mavericks in 1983, Dale Ellis blossomed with the SuperSonics during the 1986-87 season.<\/p><p>That season, his scoring average jumped from 7.1 to 24.9 PPG, earning him the NBA&rsquo;s Most Improved Player award.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/e\/ellisda01.html\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Ellis continued to improve his scoring<\/a>, reaching a career-high 27.5 PPG in 1988-89, the same season he earned his only All-Star selection.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Photo Credit: Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Without Kawhi and PG, Norman Powell has a huge leap in scoring this season<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5940,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1040,96,715],"class_list":["post-5938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-best-scoring-improvement","tag-los-angeles-clippers","tag-norman-powell"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Best Scoring Improvements in NBA History ft.
