Drake Powell's career at North Carolina will come to an end after one season, as the freshman wing made the decision to
Drake Powell to Stay in NBA Draft
- Thread starter Bryant Baucom
- Start date
Saw an interview with him on Twitter, and his comments about not getting to showcase his talent at UNC was not a good look for us.
Wish him luck but no reason to make comment on showcasing talents. Every player feels that way I suppose. A better look to say thank you and prove your worth with your actions
Seeing rumors that UNC has made contact with Jamir Watkins after he withdrew from the draft. Can anyone confirm this???
I would guess EC and Ian would likely say the same thing and rightly so.
Jamir Watkins has not withdrawn from the draft. He played in the combine scrimmage yesterday.
I agree….Its not like he was on the bench getting 5 minutes a game…He had plenty of chances to showcase his talent…I wonder if Hubert is feeling like me with Ian,EC, and Drake…They all could have went elsewhere and I would have been fine…
No need to shit on the program on the way out the door….I wish all 3 the best in the G-League…
You are right...I was seeing old information...now it seems we may be in contact with Boogie Fland?
I agree, it's pretty unbecoming but with that said, this was their college basketball experience that they put Hubert Davis and Carolina in charge of and maybe he was disappointed and felt let down.
Just imagine growing up being a basketball player, teams start recruiting you, you are raised in North Carolina right outside of chapel hill you have memories of some of your idols talking about Carolina and family you commit and you get Hubert Davis and the funky bunch as a coaching staff.
We can candy coat this all we want it is as dysfunctional as a nut house in the Carolina basketball program.
There is a reason he can't keep players!
No need to shit on 19-20 year olds for making life decisions without taking your feelings into account. Snowflake behavior.
To me, I respect Drake for saying that, some things just have to be said. 6'5.25" 205lb freshman is thrown in to the starting power forward role for UNC? There is no way that was the right thing to do for the team or for the player. It wasted Drake for most of the season, it was uncalled for. Especially when you know NBA teams asked Drake about his lack of production, he told the truth and the truth may not always be what you want to hear but it is always what you should listen to.
