UNC newcomer Drake Powell invited to 2025 NBA Draft Combine


Will this star newcomer return to UNC or pursue an NBA opportunity?

Although he did not leave UNC with a championship in his back pocket, Drake Powell lived a childhood dream by playing for the team for which he grew up.

Powell, a newcomer who played his high school basketball at the Northwood High School in Pittsboro, North Carolina, committed itself to Tar Heels and quickly became her success. UNC generally put Powell the leading goal scorer of the opposition, which was paid in the form of persecution blocks, steals or does not have the room for simple layups.

Powell also had a good point punch with an average of 7.4 points per game in 37 appearances (24 starts) for North Carolina during his season 2024-2025. Powell's game is 6,6 “and almost 40 percent from the scope. He will translate well into the NBA.

Powell spoke of professional basketball and recently received some good news and received an invitation to the NBA Draft Combine from May 11th to 18th in Chicago.

Powell's invitation comes about two weeks after he has declared the NBA design. Although Powell leaves the option for an UNC return, he keeps a strong performance in the combine harvester in the design pool.

RJ Davis is from college authorization, but they could be shocked not to see his name on the list above. The ACC player of the year 2023-2024 in his 5-year career was an average of 15.6 points per game, including the best career 21.2 in the same campaign.

I selfishly hope that Powell will return to the Tar Heels who have a place where they can fill themselves in small strikers again. Powell proved that his game is in Chapel Hill NBA-capable after just one season. I wish him all the best in every decision he makes.
