AAU basketball has kicked off for the spring and summer, and so far two Tar Heels have had excellent performances during the first Nike EYBL regular season session. UNC commits Drake Powell and Elliot Cadeau have both made the session 1 First Team, and Drake Powell was named overall MVP.
Powell is playing for Team CP3 this summer, and so far his team has a 4-0 record. During those four wins, Powell averaged 20.2 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block per game, all while shooting 53.8% from the field. The Carolina native has certainly been trending upward since announcing his commitment, and while he is a four-star small forward according to the 247Sports Composite, 247Sports themselves have him as a five-star, and he is the seventh-best small forward in the class.
