Report: Knicks sign Seton Hall star Powell

Undrafted Seton Hall guard Myles Powell is signing with the New York Knicks, reports Adam Zagoria of NJ.com.

Powell played four seasons with the Pirates, and he departs the program ranked No. 3 on its all-time scoring list. He was named Big East Player of the Year last season after averaging 21 points per game. The 23-year-old is a natural scorer, but his 3-point percentage dropped during his senior year.

Strengths

• Score-first mentality with perimeter ability - shot 37% from deep in his sophomore and junior seasons.
• Great off-ball movement, smart utilization of screens, and good cutter.
• As a slasher, he was skilled in college at drawing contact and getting to the line.

Weaknesses

• Lacks the skill set to play point guard, but he's likely too short to be a starting-caliber NBA shooting guard.
• While he possesses a decent wingspan, Powell lacks the high-level lateral quickness needed to be an elite NBA perimeter defender.
• Was prone to careless turnovers in college.
