He's developed tremendously on the OTE stage this season while producing 19.2 PPG on 35.2 percent shooting from deep and 48.2 percent from the field.

He's got tremendous upside in the painted area on both ends of the floor given his size/frame and skill set. With his 7-foot-3 wingspan and versatility, he'll certainly turn heads next fall when he joins the Kentucky Wildcats.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1115509"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Powell is probably the most complete combo guard prospect in the class as he's the No. 1 combo guard in the final rankings. He'll defend the opposing team's best player while maintaining his energy and consistency on offense just the same.
