Drake Powell's career at North Carolina will conclude after one season, as the freshman wing made the decision to keep his name in the 2025 NBA Draft.
"All-in on the draft. Door's closed," Powell told ESPN' Jeff Borzello on Wednesday.
Powell finished with the best no-step vertical (37.5 inches) and max vertical (43 inches) in this week's combine. The Pittsboro native also ranked fourth in the three-quarter court sprint, and seventh in both the shuttle run and pro lane drill.
Powell, who recorded a 7-foot wingspan, did not take part in the combine's 5-on-5 scrimmages this week.
In his lone season at UNC, Powell averaged 7.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. He shot 102-for-211 (48.3%) from the field, finishing 36-for-95 (37.9%) from 3-point range.
Powell was 35-for-54 (64.8%) from the free throw line, tallying 40 assists, 27 steals, and 25 blocked shots. He led the Tar Heels' in plus-minus on 10 occasions, the most on the roster.
Powell originally declared for the 2025 Draft on April 23, initially leaving a return to Chapel Hill on the table.
