Powell: "I will represent the Jamaican men's basketball team in the men's basketball tournament for the Americas '27 men's basketball World Cup this summer.”
In addition to Powell, NBA players who could join the Jamaican men's basketball team are Richards (Suns), Champagnie (Wizards), Champagnie (Spurs), Minot (Timberwolves), and twin brothers Amen Thompson (Rockets) and Osar Thompson (Pistons).
Born in San Diego, California, in 1993, Powell has made great progress this year and has become a new giant of the Clippers, playing in 59 games so far this season, averaging 32.4 minutes per game, scoring 21.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals, shooting 48.6%, 42.2% and 80.2% from three.
So far, Powell ranks second in points per game on the Clippers, trailing only Harden's 22.6 points per game and ahead of Leonard's 21.2 points per game.
Powell can break out this season, thanks to George bringing his talent to Philadelphia last summer for four years and $212 million, and he has a chance to be promoted from the super sixth man role to a starter, and his points per game and minutes per game have reached a new career high for the Clippers.
Unfortunately, Powell's appearances this season do not meet the criteria for the regular season awards (at least 65 games), otherwise he is expected to win the Most Improved Player award.
The Clippers are now in fifth place in the West with 49 wins and 32 losses, tied with the fourth-place Nuggets and one win ahead of the sixth-place Warriors.
The Clippers still have one regular season game left to play, and their opponent happens to be the Warriors, and a win will lock up a direct playoff spot, and a loss may still fall to the playoff zone.
The Clippers, who are fully fit and healthy, may have a lot to do this year, with Harden + Powell + Leonard three shots, Zubac, who averages 17+13 per game on the inside, and sharpshooter Bogdanovic and defensive top Jones Jr., and Simmons and Batum on the bench...... The lineup is quite balanced and well-configured.
In short, the Clippers' potential playoff opponents, it would be better to pray that the Warriors can sink this supership in the regular season finale, or they will have to face it up to their cannons!
