ESPN Analyst: Drake Powell To Be Drafted On Potential

Posted Jun 23, 2025
A quality team will take Drake Powell this week in the NBA draft based on his potential, not expecting him to make a significant immediate impact. That’s the assessment of ESPN draft analyst Jonathan Givony: "Everybody likes the long-term potential, the defense and the length and the intangibles. By all accounts, he’s a very high-character young man." (Tar Heel Tribune)
