Coming from the JV ranks to become a valued starter for the league’s top-seeded team, Powell has established himself clearly as the next up in a long line of high-level D1 guards to come out of Wood over the past decade. Coming off a standout spring and summer on the 15U Under Armour circuit, he made the transition to the varsity level look mostly seamless with his dynamic two-way ability in the backcourt. Powell has a smooth handle and an explosive first step to propel himself downhill at a moment’s notice, with advanced dexterity both as a finisher and most intriguingly as a passer on the move, to go along with his highlight-reel athleticism near the rim. His length and quickness make him a pest at the point of attack defensively and a consistent factor in passing lanes. He’ll have a chance to emerge onto high-major radars with continued growth as a perimeter shooter.
