At most recent watch he is even more fluid away from the rim. He will probably play 2/3 in college as opposed to power forward. What helps his basketball maturation is the Knox Webb system. They were playing 4 or 5 out before it was en vogue sportwide. That system implemented by Head Coach Ricky Norris demands that Bowers become competent facing the basket and handling. His outside shot still needs work to get there, but he is not a stiff or a liability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2373252' first='John' last='Nwoye'] lacks the capacity to score at a high level that his older brother had early in his career. But he is the same type of athlete. Long, lean. Athletic enough. Nwoye needs to refine his skills long-term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Rebound Kings</span></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2678049' first='Kevion' last='Robertson'] (City University)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2678060' first='Trey' last='Barge'] (Pleasant View Christian)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='2358523' first='Parker' last='Newman'] (Sevier County)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2678060' first='Trey' last='Barge'] </strong>averages 10.8 rebounds per game and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2678049' first='Kevion' last='Robertson']</strong> is up to 12.9 rebounds a night!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
