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.

I don't know why it's taken SO LONG for the NBA to realize that Carlos is an AWESOME player. Let's hope he does get called up soon and prove everyone wrong.

would love to see carlos in the league, good luck CP

would love to see the bobcats sign him, they have an open roster spot with the recent trade of Primoz Brezec and Walter Herrmann for Nazr Mohmmad, which leaves them with 14 players on their roster. This might be a little out there but it is possible.

I wonder what kind of money players make while in the D league.

Well you can say what you want about Dave, but if we have Balkman, Kinsey, Wallace, and Powell in the league, that would be a nice recruiting tool for here on out. Tre' may even get a chance after a while. Of course then you could be mad that Dave didn't do more with those guys, but Dave did have a huge role in those guys getting to where they are at.
