Big guard, high-IQ connector, and one of WSU’s cleanest all-around pieces
Powell stood out at Washington State as a versatile 6'6" guard who could score, rebound, and especially facilitate, averaging 11.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game while shooting 44.2% from three in his WSU season[6]. What makes him intriguing is the combination of size, passing feel, and perimeter shooting, which gives a coach lineup flexibility and a true secondary-playmaker option rather than just a spot-up wing[6]. The main question is durability and role fit, since his career has already included multiple college stops and a later move to pro basketball, so teams value him most as a smart, low-drama connective guard who can raise the floor of an offense[2][4][6]
