Norris III is a shifty guard who had a variety of ways to create space and get by his man. Used ball fakes and quick steps to get downhill, had some nice low crossovers and did well to set his man up with north/south moves, and showed the footwork to dance through traffic or hit a defender with a good head fake and step under to get to his shot. Was one of the more consistent paint penetrators on the day but also showed some ability to knock down shots in the midrange off the bounce, owing a lot of that to his separation skills. Was pretty active defensively too with those 1.3 steals per game, and contributed to even more team steals with his pressure, quick hands, and effort.

Norris really impressed me with his ability to crate for others and himself, getting downhill all day. He definently led everyone at camp in free throw attempts, which is a testament to the pressure he put on the rim. He’s a strong defender too, as he likes to get up into his man and try to poke the ball out. The other thing that impressed me was his passing ability, as he was a very quick decision maker who loves to hit a cutter as he got into the paint. Look for Norris to have a big year at Parkrose.

Athletic and physical 6-foot-3 point guard that proved to be one of the top all-around players in the entire event. Always got to wherever he wanted to with the ball, finished well at the cup and did so through contact, completing multiple traditional and-ones. Was money with his pull-up jumper and did a great job pushing the ball up and was practically unstoppable in transition. Found open teammates for scores and led his team in rebounding. (JT)

The Class of 2029 is loaded and there’s no question an argument could be made for Norris to be at the top. The rising sophomore is a point guard with size and skill and even as a true freshman for Parkrose, proved to be a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. His pull-up game is elite and once he adds consistency to his three-point shot, watch out. More than just a scorer, Norris does a tremendous job getting the ball to open teammates and using his motor, he does a lot of the little things on defense that helps the Broncos have arguably the toughest full-court defense in the state. Colleges are already jumping on board as he holds early offers from San Francisco, San Jose State, and Texas-Arlington.

There’s no question with his size and athleticism, Norris is a matchup nightmare for many point guards. That was the case in Parkrose’s win over Grant in the opening game for both teams at the Rose City Showcase as the rising sophomore couldn’t be contained, especially once he got around the hoop. He converted two big traditional and-one plays at the hoop and as always, was extremely effective with his mid-range pull-up. 14 points total in the intense win.

1st Team

Victor Norris is emerging as one of the top freshmen in the state, showing maturity and two-way impact beyond his years. He’s a solid defender who consistently attacks the rim and makes smart reads as a passer. With high upside and strong feel for the game, Norris finished with 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, highlighting his all-around potential.

Norris stood out as a long, athletic shot-maker who could score in a variety of ways on Sunday. The 6-foot-2 guard handled the ball comfortably for his size and consistently looked like one of the most polished all-around players on the floor. He’ll be at Parkrose this upcoming season. (JN)
