Carlos is tearing it up in the NBA D League
***********************************
Who Will Be Next? ... Five Potential GATORADE Call-Ups
Jeremy Richardson
C.J. Watson
Keith Langford
Sean Banks
Carlos Powell (http://www.nba.com/dleague/playerfile/carlos_powell/index.html) – Dakota Wizards
Carlos Powell, a 6-7 forward from South Carolina, was the second overall pick in the 2007 D-League Draft. He has lived up to his lofty draft status by leading the Wizards with 24.7 points per game while also adding 4.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Consistency has been his trademark, as Powell has scored 18 points or better in every game this season. Prior to the D-League, Powell played in the 2007 NBA preseason with Golden State after tearing up the Australian Basketball League during the 2006-07 season. He also led South Carolina to the 2005 NIT Championship during his college career.
Powell entered the D-League with a lot of confidence after his strong showing with the Warriors during summer league and preseason. "I impressed them a little bit (summer league), and I went to their vet camp and had a great camp," Powell told the Bismark Tribune in an interview. "The numbers just didn't add up for me. But they said, 'Try the D-League. You'll get a call-up.'" If he maintains his current performance, Powell should be playing in an NBA regular season game very soon.
