Drake Powell is one of the more exciting prospects in this draft class. While he is still pretty raw offensively, his defense looks elite and he has top-tier athleticism. Vertically and laterally, it is not common to find this type of athlete as an incoming freshman. His jumpshot will need some work, but as long as he can show flashes in his freshman year, teams should be willing to wait on it. He does a great job of moving off-ball and is very effective as a cutter. With a running start, Powell adjusts well above the rim and can finish either with touch or by throwing down big dunks. I see his best case scenario as getting drafted by a team who can afford patience and is willing to bank on the up-side.
