Drake Powell says he never sulked or complained about his low usage rate at UNC

Posted Jul 2, 2025
Drake Powell suggested Tuesday he was frustrated when the usage rate he was accustomed to in high school dropped during his only season at UNC. "I could have sulked and complained to the coaches. But what does that get done? So, I accepted the role that was given with open arms, and I just wanted to be able to play to the best of my ability." (Tar Heel Tribune)
