Austin is the number 2 center in the class of 2027 and with good reason.
He’s a strong kid that uses his body well.
He elevates quickly and rim protects well
He’s got balanced footwork and moves very well for his size
Austin could play the 4 if personnel required it

Read EvaluationSpencer Christenson | Prep Hoops Scout
Dowd is an undersized Big, but has a solid and physical build to handle contact and move bodies from their position. Boxes out hard and goes after the ball as it’s coming off the rim. Moves very well in all directions and is solid defending on the perimeter and will contest 3-point shooters. Offensively, he is an effective finisher at the hoop, using the glass consistently.
