Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Drake Powell is one of several one-and-done projects that will hope to get selected in the 2025 NBA Draft. The 6-foot-6 guard out of Pittsboro, NC, was ranked as a Top 15 player in the 2024 class and decided to stay in his hometown to play for the Tar Heels. Despite being a freshman, Powell didn't have problems handling a prominent role right away and ended up starting in 24 of his 37 appearances in his lone year with the program. The numbers weren't eye-popping, but there's no question Powell has tons of raw potential that could give him another level or two in his game. Powell averaged 7.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks across 25.6 minutes per contest in his lone year with the program. Powell's offensive game is still developing. He has a knack for finishing through contact and plays with an aggressive motor, which combines well with his elite athleticism. He's also a connective playmaker. Powell can also get the job on defense due to his instincts and his athleticism, and his reads should improve as he gets more experience under his belt. As raw as he is, the potential is there. Powell is a potential first round selection in the 2025 NBA Draft. He has top-shelf athleticism and can be a solid two-way contributor for any team that takes a chance on him. He's drawn comparisons to players such as Patrick Williams, Isaac Okoro and Thabo Sefolosha, though a version of Okoro with more athleticism looks like a more realistic comparison.

Selected by Nets
FBrooklyn Nets
June 25, 2025
Powell was selected by the Nets with the No. 22 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
The pick was technically made by the Hawks, but a trade that will be finalized later sends the UNC product to Brooklyn. Powell is an elite athlete and high-motor player who averaged just 7.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 25.6 minutes per game as a true freshman at North Carolina. He primarily played off the ball with UNC and shot 37.9 percent from three-point range. Powell's athleticism helps him get downhill, where he showed an ability to finish through contact. He'll need plenty of refinement, but his athleticism should immediately translate to the NBA game. What Brooklyn does with restricted free agents Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Ziaire Williams (knee) will make Powell's role as a rookie clearer.
