Bowles made a strong impact on both ends of the floor. He consistently put himself in good positions to secure rebounds and helped his team control possessions. Defensively, he used his length effectively to alter shots around the basket and create turnovers by getting into passing lanes for steals. On the offensive end, Bowles was efficient, converting a number of high-percentage looks around the rim. His combination of size, length, and activity level makes him a difficult matchup, and teams with limited frontcourt size often struggle to contain him inside.
