Quick Stat Hits: Get Ready for Stormin' Norman Powell

Second round pick. Short for his position. Buried in a deep wing rotation. Sharing the end of the bench with a guy taken 26 spots earlier in the same draft, two long-limbed sophomores and a former first-overall Canadian prospect (though, er, not so much that last one anymore).

Now, yes, DeMarre Carroll has been injured all year, and James Johnson has been suffering from injury as well (and general sporadic uselessness). And Terrence Ross has missed time recently.

And the Norman Powell experiment did not exactly start smoothly. He first started and/or played significant minutes for a stretch of five games in February.
