Strengths:
Powell is one of the best three-point shooters in the country. He's virtually automatic when his feet are set and already owns range out to the NBA arc. He's very adept at getting his shot off in a number of ways and is equally capable of coming off screens, pulling up from deep off the dribble or finding a spot in transition. He'll make shots in bunches and when he gets going he's one of the few players in the country who can win a game for his team from beyond the three-point line. He's also diversified his attack quite a bit within the last year. He gets to the rim going north to south with the ball, as well as attacking close-outs, and while he used to not be able to get any deeper than his pull-up, he's learned to get low and leverage his frame through contact, has excellent balance and is also a very good lay-up maker.
Weaknesses:
Powell is undersized for the two-guard position and not an explosive athlete. He's going to have constant challenges keeping up with quicker and more athletic guards on the defensive end of the floor and also is never going to blow by anybody off the dribble or play above the rim. His size, or lack thereof, has yet to be a major factor to date but could be further exploited at the next level. His conditioning has gradually improved over the years, but he'll benefit from being in a college weight room on a full time basis and being able to cut-up his frame for the first time.
Bottom Line:
He's undersized for off the ball and never going to be especially quick or athletic but he's as pure of a shooter as there is in the national class with an under-rated ability to score inside the lane.
