2025-26 UNC Basketball Roster Preview Series: Jonathan Powell | Time For A MASSIVE Sophomore Jump

It’s week 4 of the 2025-26 UNC Men's Basketball Summer Roster Preview Series. The series started with the 3 freshmen - Caleb Wilson, Zay Denis, & Derek Dixon. This week, Sleepers Media's Riley Davis joins Isaac Schade to launch into the sophomore class, starting with West Virginia transfer Jonathan Powell. Is Jonathan Powell the missing piece for North Carolina's three-point arsenal? The Tar Heels' newest transfer from West Virginia brings a sharpshooting touch that could reshape UNC's offensive strategy. Host Isaac Schade and guest Riley Davis break down Powell's impressive freshman campaign, projecting his potential impact in Chapel Hill. From his 35.2% three-point accuracy to his 6'6" frame, Powell's skillset fills a crucial gap for the Tar Heels. The duo explores how Powell might fit into the rotation, debating his ceiling as a starter or sixth man. Discover why Davis boldly predicts Powell could shatter UNC's ACC Tournament three-point record. Tune in for an in-depth analysis of how this "old school Roy Williams wing" might elevate North Carolina basketball to new heights.
