Powell was on a mission all summer to prove that he belongs as one of the top guards in the class, and he’s been delivering. He’s putting up 18.1 ppg as a confident lead guard who excels with the ball in his hands and has also been finding teammates as well. Severance is on a 6-game winning streak and playing their best ball. They look like they will be a team that could win their conference behind their leading scorer, who has been on a tear this season. Trending back up for him as he’s finally returned.

Powell had his moments of the summer, and we want to see more of them. He’s capable of explosive scoring runs and lights-out shooting, but we want to see that production against elite competition. He’s also got the tools to run the table and lock up defensively, as well as a smaller guard that gets after it. We’ve seen him play up all summer, but this showcase puts him in his own class with the other 2028s that are vying for his spot and he wants to move as well. This is where he can dominate as a shot-maker and prove he’s one of the premier guards in 2028.
