He's back at it again this year, averaging 17.9 points and 12.8 rebounds a game on 52% shooting.

He rotates well and is a strong help defender who is blocking 2.4 shots a game. He's a rim-running 6-8 big man with great length who should be on the radar of small schools around the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>C [player_tooltip player_id='1469785' first='Tytan' last='Bowers'] (Alburnett)<br></strong><em>The move: 179 to 105</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bowers is one of the most improved players in the state.

By no means is he a big shooter, but he has shown the ability to occasionally step out and knock down a 3. He has also been an enforcer on the defensive end, blocking 2.6 shots a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PF [player_tooltip player_id='1469828' first='Cole' last='Lipper'] (Mediapolis)<br></strong><em>The move: 234 to 173</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lipper is a physical, athletic forward who uses his strength to control the painted area on both ends of the floor.
