veteran Redhawks forward who did the dirty work and filled the box score
In the 2016-17 season, Seattle U forward William Powell was a preseason All-WAC pick after averaging 8.9 points and a team-best 6.8 rebounds per game the year before, and he opened that year with 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists against Pacific Lutheran. He stood out as a tough, versatile frontcourt connector: a reliable rebounder, a solid passer for a forward, and an efficient scorer who could flirt with a triple-double. For a team needing grit, IQ, and production without ego, Powell was the kind of glue guy coaches love.
