Drake Powell delivered his most impressive performance of the season with 15 points, including perfect shooting from deep, during Sunday’s matchup against the Knicks. With Cam Thomas sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Powell has seen increased minutes, allowing the rookie to demonstrate his scoring potential. While not yet a must-add in fantasy leagues, Powell’s recent form merits monitoring, especially if the Nets shift focus towards player development later in the season.

Brooklyn Nets rookie Drake Powell is set to be evaluated on Thursday after dealing with a recurring right ankle sprain. Although yet to make a significant fantasy impact, Powell’s potential return against the Pistons may still be limited. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on him and the Nets’ other first-round picks, as their roles may increase later in the season with the team focusing on draft positioning.

Drake Powell will be a limited participant as the Nets initiate training camp due to ongoing knee issues. The rookie has not yet engaged in full 5-on-5 play as he recovers from left knee tendinopathy. While the team is optimistic about his preseason debut, a timeline remains uncertain. Powell remains a developmental prospect, valued for his athleticism and defense, making him more appealing in dynasty leagues than in redraft formats this season.
