PULLMAN, Wash. — After a long wait, Justin Powell has announced he will keep his name in the NBA Draft and not return to WSU for his senior season after receiving positive feedback from NBA teams.
Powell shot 40.8% from the field, 42.6% from three and 81% from the free throw line last season.
He transferred to WSU from Tennessee last season and averaged 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.
WSU's backcourt has had quite the makeover this offseason thanks to the departures of TJ Bamba and DJ Rodman and now Powell.
WSU has many options to replace Powell in the starting backcourt with the likes of transfers Joseph Yesufu and Jaylen Wells or returners Jabe Mullins and Myles Rice.
