Myles Powell, Seton Hall
*Stats provided as of 3/7/20
Seton Hall senior Myles Powell is one of the better players in all of college basketball, but that stardom doesn’t guarantee him success at the next level. He projects to be a professional scorer that is a second rounder but could sneak into the first round.
Powell is averaging 21.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists as a senior for the Pirates. His shooting are way down this year, but he’s a proven scorer. He shot 45 percent overall and 36 percent from deep a year ago, but is shooting 40 percent overall and 30 percent from deep this year.
Taking him in the first round would probably be a stretch. However, I do see him having success in the NBA, and I do think that he’ll be a guy that increases his stock prior to the draft. He’s an electric guard that can help a team out instantly with his scoring ability. Could he be this years Carsen Edwards?
He is a bit undersized at 6’2″ and will probably have to play more point guard in the NBA, so he’ll have to work on those skills moving forward. We know he can score, now he must prove that he can run a team, make plays for others and defend.
Powell wouldn’t be my first choice for the Jazz, but I do think he’d be an intriguing fit, especially with Utah’s developmental program.
