Scouting Report:
An undersized power forward who put up massive numbers his sophomore
year.
Strengths:
Very strong down low – can score with his back to the basket and corral
rebounds. Great rebounder – became the first freshman in Pac-10 history
to lead the league in rebounding. Great hands. Decent mid range
jumper. Is a 20 point, 10 board threat every time he walks onto a
college court.
Weaknesses:
Too short to
play power forward in the NBA – may actually only be 6’7”. Injury
worries – has already had two knee surgeries. Inexperienced – is 22
years old but has only played 2 years in college. Needs to get range on
his jumper back beyond the college three point line to show he has the
potential to play the three spot in the pros.
Projected 2006 Draft
Range:
Late first round to early second round pick.
Consensus:
Powe needs
another year in school to show that he is completely healthy and to
expand his game. Considering he probably isn’t going to grow any taller
at this point in his life, Powe needs to add ball handling skills and a
deeper jump shot to improve his NBA chances.
