Riley Norris was Alabama’s rugged, do-everything glue guy
In the 2018-19 season, Riley Norris brought Alabama a versatile 6-7 guard/forward who could rebound, space the floor, and do the dirty work without needing the ball to matter. ESPN listed him at 6.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, while Sports-Reference shows a 2018-19 line of 6.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game. He also carried a reputation as one of Alabama’s most experienced players and a vocal leader, which matters if you want toughness, maturity, and low-drama fit over flash.
