When Hubert Davis built the 2024-25 UNC basketball squad, a lot of eyes were on Ian Jackson to explode onto the scene and likely only be on the college court for one season. The thing is, there was another freshman who had a skill set that actually caught the eyes of scouts throughout the year, and that’s Drake Powell. For a while, he was seen as behind Jackson, but as Hubert Davis trusted him more and his minutes shot up, it looked more like he could actually be the better immediate prospect. Thus, when it came time to announce, Powell not only entered the draft but stayed in instead of transferring to another school.
