Not sure anyone would find this all that interesting, but I'll share it anyways.
I actually played basketball with Andrew Norwell once.
He's actually from my part of town, and it was pure coincidence. I used to go up to the park to play occassionally and one day I went up there to shoot and there were some younger guys playing so I joined in on a couple games of 21.
I had absolutely no clue who he was and he didn't necessarily look like some stud athlete. But he was BIG. And even more than that, he was suprisingly quick for being as big as he was.
Anyways, when we were finishing up I said something like "big dudes got some game". And then one of his buddies told me who "the big dude" was and that he actually saw playing time at Ohio State as a true Freshman.
So he must have been home from break or something, was probably 19 years old or something. I'm sure his coaches at OSU would have had a fit knowing he was playing in pickup games at the park.
Anyways, that's my story. He was a really nice and unassuming kid. I'm not sure how good he's been's lately, but I know he was a monster in Carolina. Would love to see him come back home and play if he's still got it.
