Drake Powell Q&A: Versatility, Mentors, 'Welcome to College' Moment

Posted Oct 9, 2024
UNC freshman wing Drake Powell on his "welcome to college" moment: "I tried to dunk over Jalen Washington. I caught it in the corner. Pump fake. He was on the other side of the block, and he came over and blocked my shot. I was a little bit confused. I usually finish those. I tried not to look at any of my teammates. I didn't want to see their reaction." (Inside Carolina)
