UNC basketball commit Drake Powell 'a once-in-a-lifetime player', person for Northwood

Posted Jul 8, 2023
"Hands, hands!" 5-star UNC Basketball commit Drake Powell yells as he closes out a shooter. It's easier to run a program when the example is set by your best player. Powell is a 6'5 wing who can defend as well as he can score. He's the No. 9 player in the 2024 recruiting class and No. 1 in North Carolina. What the rankings won't show are his intangibles.
