According to a report on Schoenen Dunk, Florence native and former South Carolina Gamecocks standout Carlos Powell has signed to play for the German club Deutsche Bank Skyliners - for now.
According to the Google translation of the German report, Powell has signed with the team through the end of October, when the contract could possibly be extended. Check out the translation here: Google tranlate.
I recently tried to get in touch with Powell and got no response. Therefore, I can only speculate. But the NBA D-League draft is in November, and Powell was a D-League All-Star last season after being the No. 1 pick in the draft. He never got the call-up to the NBA before leaving the States to finish the year in China. Perhaps he is playing overseas until making a decision on whether to return to the D-League? It is uncertain, but definitely possible. NBA training camps begin this month.
Powell played for longtime Socastee coach and current Knicks assistant Dan D'Antoni on the Knicks' summer league team.
