2025 Draft Profile - Drake Powell

Jeremy Woo - ESPN - March 25th: "Powell's freshman season ended with North Carolina's first-round loss to Ole Miss, leaving questions going into the predraft process that place him on the fringe of the first round. He's a sturdy wing defender who guarded multiple positions effectively with his length and good instincts this season."

Jeremy Woo - ESPN - March 13th: "This is just one of many cases in which NIL spending power makes the option to turn pro less clear-cut for prospects who are not guaranteed to be first-round picks. A poor team context as well as limited offensive skills made this a somewhat forgettable freshman season for Powell -- and though teams still like his defensive upside in the long run, he'll have work to do in the predraft process to enhance his standing."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - March 12th: "The breakout for Powell may not happen this season but the flashes of promise as a future NBA role player have been enough to keep him in the first round for me. He can make open shots and has the defensive tools to be a star on that end."
