Field goal percentage .437 vs. .435, 3-point percentage .374 vs. .372, free throw percentage .875 vs .867, rebounds per 40 minutes 6.2 vs. 5.6. Quick, which statistics are Corey Kispert’s and which are Zach Norvell’s? Kispert’s are the first numbers, the higher ones. To be fair, Norvell played more minutes (31 vs. 26), took more shots (11.3 vs 6.4), was a much better ball distributor (3.1 vs. 1 assist per game) and had more steals. Kispert though had more blocks with less turnovers. So how did Norvell make the Wooden Award preseason Top 50 and All-West Coast Conference First Team while several fans thought Kispert should lose his starting spot?
