The NBA draft is less than two weeks away, and most mock drafts are projecting UNC’s Drake Powell to be a first-round pick, with predictions as high as No. 17. Of the 12 mock drafts that either included both rounds or had Powell going in the first round when that was the only round projected, the average had him going No. 27 or No. 28 in the first round.
