Chansky’s Notebook: Potential or Proof

Posted May 7, 2025
My money is on Drake Powell to come back next season. In the latest NBA mock drafts for this June, Powell is only listed on two of the eight "most trusted" boards. ESPN has him at No. 32 early in the second round while at NBA.com he is No. 36. NBADraft.com, Yahoo Sports, Bleacher Report, CBS Sports, SI.com, and the Ringer do not have him anywhere.
