With stable and reliable three-point defense, does the Nets new first-round pick have a chance to establish himself immediately?

In a previous NBA preseason game in China, the Brooklyn Nets completed a huge comeback at the last moment of the game and defeated the Phoenix Suns 111-109, and successfully avenged their loss to their opponent two days ago. After this game, the Nets' record in the preseason improved to 2 wins and 1 loss, while the Suns' record, which suffered their first loss in the preseason, dropped to 2 wins and 1 loss.

In this game, the performance of the Nets' substitute wing rookie Drake Powell is worthy of recognition. Powell played 16 minutes and 15 seconds, making 2 of 5 shots and 2 of 4 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus of +9. Powell also showed good outside shooting ability on the offensive end. He also seized the limited opportunities and scored some points, and he seemed to have certain passing and support abilities. The most important thing is that Powell performed very well on the defensive end. He has very good personal defensive ability, his athletic ability is also quite outstanding, and his defensive attitude is very positive, and he also has a very good effect on the defensive end. It is not easy to perform like this with limited ball rights and not much playing time.

Powell was born in September 2005 and is now 20 years old. He is a wing player from the University of North Carolina selected by the Nets with the 22nd overall pick in the first round of this year's NBA draft. According to the data from the joint trial physical test session before the draft, Powell's barefoot height is 196.2cm, weight is 90.9kg, wingspan is 213.4cm, and standing reach is 261.6cm. In the NCAA last season, Powell represented the University of North Carolina where he played 37 times, averaging 25.6 minutes per game. He averaged 7.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game. He also had 0.7 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He shot 48.3% from the field, 37.9% from the three-point range, and 64.8% from the free throw line. Powell made his preseason debut when the team lost to the Suns in the previous preseason game. In 13 minutes and 23 seconds of playing time, he made 2 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 1 turnover and a plus-minus of +8.

Powell's performance in the NCAA last season was not particularly outstanding, but this was closely related to his limited playing time. He was actually able to play a very good role on both offense and defense. However, he is also a five-star high school student ranked in the top 15 by many websites. His talent and potential are both good, which should be an important factor in the Nets selecting him with a first-round pick. Judging from the current situation, although the Nets have selected multiple first-round picks, in comparison, the inconspicuous Powell may be the one most likely to gain a foothold in the team immediately?
