is a dangerous scoring threat who possesses the scoring instincts to quickly get into a scoring rhythm and change the momentum of a game in a hurry. Serving as a legitimate offensive catalyst, Owusu’s production was highlighted by his ability to put together multiple scoring bursts in rapid succession— excelling the most in different ball screen actions and isolation situations, finding opportunities to get to his mid range pull ups and creating separation bumping defenders off of him and demonstrating good body control to decelerate and rise into his shot, getting evasive attacking tight driving angles and finishing with craftiness in the lane, and even maintaining his court vision and displaying strong playmaking instincts on a lot of those same paint touches to deliver timely passes to teammates filling the rim line.

offered plenty of offensive production as a legitimate catalyst, stringing points together in multiple quick spurts at a time. And in this performance, Owusu demonstrated a legitimate ability to become a difficult matchup once he got going offensively— using his shiftiness and creativity off the bounce to manipulate defenders’ momentum in isolation to create narrow driving lanes for tough layup finishes from difficult angles at the rim. Owusu supplemented that ability to break defenders down off the bounce and create rim pressure, finding opportunities to get to his mid range pull ups and knocking down open perimeter looks off the catch.

provided significant scoring pop for this Bergen Catholic offense. Owusu did his best work attacking the paint and getting downhill to generate paint touches— attacking closeouts for a mixture of crafty reverse layups and soft touch runners in the lane while also displaying a strong affinity to attack straight line driving angles out of different DHO actions and in the open floor, ultimately pressuring the defense by getting deep in the paint.

Owusu is a loud guard who uses his blend of size, quickness, and athleticism to wreak havoc on opposing teams. He has the ability to put points on the board in the blink of an eye and can make an impact as a scorer in a variety of ways. His versatility allows him to play either guard spot, and he frequently found his teammates for scoring opportunities of their own. Owusu also showed a willingness to rebound the basketball and contribute in multiple areas. Low-major programs in need of a guard should get on Owusu before it is too late.

Owusu had clutch moments last season for the Crusaders as he helped them take a state title. The 6’4 guard has an explosive first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and finishes strong above the rim. Owusu has a nice touch in the mid-range and moves well without the ball in his hands. He has the ability to defend both backcourt spots and is an underrated passer. Owusu is a dynamic guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.

is an instant offense type of scorer who can heat up quickly, stringing together points in a hurry while displaying a diverse scoring repertoire. Providing plenty of scoring production, Owusu got going early on capitalizing on plenty of looks that occurred organically, finishing at the rim in transition and cutting to open space off the ball in different actions. As the action progressed, Owusu later showcased much of the isolation scoring that he’s developed a keen reputation for— creating scoring opportunities off the dribble with his creativity off the bounce to create separation whether it was knocking down tough mid range pull ups or finishing craftily at the rim.

displayed a well rounded and efficient scoring package. Owusu impressed in the offense he was able to generate out of different PnR and DHO actions— freezing switching bigs with hesitation dribbles coming off ball screens to finish at the basket, rejecting ball screens and absorbing contact on physical drives on the way to the rim and even getting to his spots for smooth mid range pull ups. Owusu also got going in different isolation scoring situations— getting to the mid range area off the bounce for tough pull ups, using his creativity off the bounce to break his defender down off the dribble and finish with craftiness around the basket. All while also attacking straight line driving angles and converting on transition opportunities at the rim. Owusu’s ability to score from multiple levels really did give this Shoreshots group an important and legitimate offensive lift.
