Kye has been on my radar for years. A confident scoring threat that operates efficiently at either guard spot, he was a huge piece for Oldham County’s offense last season. Coming off of a breakout sophomore campaign during which he averaged 14.6 PPG, he’s now taken his talents to the 7th Region with CAL. The Centurions are led by a nationally recognized duo in

, but they’ll have to replace a lot of scoring after losing Rider University PG Jayden Washington to graduation. That’s where Kye comes in.

A new name for myself, Bowen is a combo guard who can make shots from well behind the 3-point line as he knocked down four 3-pointers in the first half alone in the game I caught. Bowen played with some confidence and swagger on the ball, using quick dribble moves to get past his defender on the perimeter. While most combo guards want to play with the ball in their hands all the time, Bowen found success as a spot-up option to space the floor as the sets his team ran helped create movement and space for him to make shots. If Bowen can get stronger during the fall I’d expect him to be one of the most impactful guards in Louisville this winter.
