What happened: Drake Powell has gone 1-of-28 from the field, including 0-of-14 from three, across four Summer League games. NBA reporter Law Murray flagged the slump, comparing it to Dariq Whitehead's own rough Summer League stretch two years ago.
Why it matters: Summer League shooting numbers get outsized scrutiny for young players trying to establish a role, and Powell's line is among the coldest of the event so far. Murray's comparison to Whitehead frames it as the kind of early slump that history says can turn around.
By the numbers: Drake Powell: 11 points, 1-of-28 FG, 0-of-14 3PT across four Summer League games.
What to watch: Powell gets another chance to find his shot in Summer League play.
