Over the past years I have not really seen Norris Cole play that much. I mean, I have watched him play, but to me it just seems like he does not get that much playing time. Now that Lebron James left maybe Norris Cole will get more playing time, you never know what can happen. That is if he is healthy and all of teammates are healthy as well. I really do want to see more playing time out of Norris Cole and Mario Chalmers because the Heat are going to need them this year.
Cole was the star for Cleveland State in the NCAA's Horizon League who became a key member of the Miami Heat, winning an NBA Championship in his first season with the Miami Heat. He became the first Horizon League player to win both Conference Player of the year and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season. He also got named the Rising Stars competition during the 2011 season. Last year, Cole has played more games than Mario Chalmers and I did not even know that. I thought the whole time he was not getting that much playing time.
Cole is the back up point guard, and the starting point guard is Mario Chalmers. Even though Cole got drafted from the Bulls to the Timberwolves, then finally got drafted to the Heat. For me getting drafted and having to get traded to one team after another has to not feel to good. During Training camp a couple of years ago, Cole impressed his coaches and all of his teammates. If you can impress your coaches during training camp than you must be good.
I think that Cole is a under rated star in the NBA and I think he needs more recognition. I don't like when players work so hard in the NBA but don't get recognized for there hard work. I hope this coming year he gets more recognition and that he becomes more popular. In his college day, he put up one of the most ridiculous stat lines ever produced by any point guard. I really do hope that Norris Cole plays more and becomes a raising star.
There is a lot of talk about who will start for the point guard position for the Heat. Mario Chalmers said that now that Lebron James is gone that he can do more for the team. It's going to be hard for not only Mario Chalmers but for Norris Cole and Shabazz Napier, if they all want to start at the point guard. This is really going to be hard to pick and I'm glad that I'm not going to pick one. I like them all and I will not be upset for whoever they pick to start for the Miami Heat.

Norris Cole is one of my favorite point guards. Im a LeBron fan and Norris went to college at Cleveland State, so he should come home. Im just kidding. Norris is one of the most underrated point guards and I think he should have the starting position in the lineup, but Miami is not that smart to realize that. Fear the Flat top! Norris is fearless, and can score for the Heat when needed. I remember he was a big factor in 2013 when the Heat won the championship. Last year, Norris barely played and I think he could of been a factor to help LeBron. LeBron could be in Miami if Coach Spo played Norris, but no! Miami was to stupid in my opinion.
