What's your biggest strength as a player, and how does it show up in games?
My biggest strength as a player is my versatility. At 6’4”, I can impact the game in multiple ways—scoring at all three levels, handling the ball, creating for my teammates, defending different positions, and rebounding. In games, that shows up by me being able to make the right play based on what my team needs. I can bring the ball up, knock down shots, attack the basket, or use my size and lengt
What are you working to improve right now?
Right now, I’m focused on improving every part of my game, but especially becoming more consistent with my shooting, tightening my handle, and getting stronger so I can be more physical on both ends of the court. I’m also working on becoming a better defender and making quicker reads. As I continue to grow, I want to become a more complete guard/wing who can impact the game in multiple ways and do
What are you looking for in a college program?
I’m looking for a college program that will help me grow both as a basketball player and as a person. I want to be around a coaching staff that believes in developing players, pushes me to reach my full potential, and has a strong relationship with its players. I’m looking for a competitive environment where I can continue to develop my game, compete at a high level, and earn my opportunities.
Outside of your sport, what should coaches know about you?
Outside of basketball, coaches should know that I’m a hardworking, respectful, and coachable person. I take my academics seriously and try to be a good teammate and person in every environment I’m in. I value my family and the people who support me, and I understand that basketball is only one part of who I am. I’m always looking to learn, grow, and become the best version of myself on and off the
What do you want to study, and what career interests you?
I’m interested in studying business and ultimately pursuing my MBA. I want to learn more about business, leadership, and entrepreneurship so I can build a strong career and have opportunities beyond basketball. Education is important to me, and I want to prepare myself for success both on and off the court.

gave ABC Lions a scoring presence on the perimeter. He looked comfortable as a shooting guard and showed confidence playing off the ball. Fowlkes has the type of scoring tools that can continue to grow as he gets stronger and more consistent.
Bentley took over during portions of a blowout Saturday afternoon win, as he is an elite shot creator. He had a very tough pull-up three-pointer to end the half for his team, being a major threat from deep. He has a strong 6’4” frame which he used to attack the basket, fighting through contact and going up strong every time with either hand. Fowlkes was also great when getting to a pull-up mid-range jumper, being a true three-level scorer.
Fowlkes is an intruiging prospect that is heading to Pius XI this winter. Over the course of camp he showed off his ability to score it on all three levels of the floor. Smaller guards had issues with his strength and bigger matchups had issues staying in front. His shot selection and discernment when looking to make a play was impressive. His tight handle and smooth jumpshot was on display for team 4.
Fowlkes was versatile for team 1. He proved to be a willing facilitator at the wing position. He was a mismatch problem for smaller guards. He used his body well when looking to attack and make plays for himself and others.
