SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A key piece to two NCAA Tournament appearances for the Gauchos, Miles Norris has signed with Barcelona on a one-year deal.
Norris made three total appearances for Boston at the NBA level last season, but was most effective in the G League. The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 16.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 30.5 minutes per game across 44 total outings for the Memphis Hustle and Maine Celtics, with a shooting line of .464/.388/.791.
The two-time Big West Champion joins a Barcelona squad that finished fifth in both Spain’s Liga ACB and the EuroLeague last season. The team was eliminated in the quarterfinals of both leagues’ playoffs.
In three seasons in the Blue and Gold, Norris averaged 11.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists, helping the Gauchos to two Big West Championships, two NCAA Tournament appearances. The three-time All-Big West selection ended his career as the 12th Gaucho to reach the 1,000 career points and 500 career rebounds mark.
