It has been a long few months for Justin Powell, one of the brightest young basketball stars in Kentucky.
Part of his journey took him outside the state, but Powell is now back home, preparing for his senior season and getting used to being back on the court facing off against top competition.
He was all smiles after his debut on the Nike circuit Saturday morning, and for good reason.
Powell, a 6-foot-5, 180-pound guard from Louisville, scored 26 points and made all six of his three-point attempts in Indy Heat’s 103-55 victory over Team BABC.
