Drake Powell Settling in as Starter for UNC Basketball

Posted Jan 11, 2025
UNC returned from the Maui Invitational at 4-3 and riding a two-game losing streak. A slow start for the Tar Heels prompted coach Hubert Davis to make a change to the starting lineup moving freshman Drake Powell to the first five. Powell has since emerged for UNC over the last four games, averaging 12.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in 31.3 minutes. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
