Following the 2020 NBA Draft on Wednesday night, Seton Hall and college basketball fans took to Twitter to voice their complaints over former Seton Hall men’s basketball star Myles Powell going undrafted. Many outlets had projected that Powell would be taken late in the second round, but when the New Orleans Pelicans selected Utah State’s Sam Merrill as the last pick of this year’s draft, both confusion and frustration swarmed social media.
From tweets comparing Powell’s senior season statistics with those of players drafted before him to tweets of validation for the Trenton native’s work ethic and heart, arguments from all angles were made as to why Powell deserved to be drafted.
