Recently, Beverley talked about Powell on the "Hoopin ' n Hollerin '" program.

Beverley said: "We knew he would play well. He was the scoring leader of the Clippers last season. From the data point of view, he should have been an All-Star. He was traded. He could have been an All-Star. Everything was messed up. His mentality was to explode. He will be an All-Star in the Eastern Conference this year."
