Dasonte Bowen

Joe Toussaint 6'0" 195lbs Sr
Ahron Ulis 6'3" 185lbs Jr
Tony Perkins 6'4" 210lbs Jr
Dasonte Bowen 6'3" 180lbs Fr
Josh Dix 6'5" 195lbs Fr

That's gonna be a fun bunch of backcourt dudes that can defend!

Gonna need to see the 3 point shot become a threat or teams will pack in zone on us.

good news is our Forwards will all be good 3 pt shooters (Kris Murray / Payton Sandfort / PMac)
 
The most recent video I could find.



Dasonte Bowen


Yeah, there has not been much video on him lately.

This particular video states this is from the NERR New England Hoop Festival, which is held annually during April's ACT weekend.

EDIT: On You Tube, it says this video is from 3 years ago (Apr 15, 2019).

Love the clips, very fluid player. Definitely agree it would be awesome to see some stats but there doesn’t seem to be much out there.

When will I learn that these types of videos usually have to be muted to avoid ruining the experience?

Of Joe t, Ahron Ulis, and Tony Perkins, only Ulis is a decent 3 point shooter and he is a bit better than PMac according to the stats. Perkins is a great defender but a horrible shooter.

Uhlis has a good FT stroke..one neve knows what jump players can make between seasons.

Bowen looks like a great pickup. The problem with being a development program/ finder or diamonds in the rough, is the current landscape means anyone that explodes to upside is going to be leaving early for NBA.
Then Fran has to find another replacement.

You almost need great college players with holes in their game that prevent then from being coveted by NBA.
JoeT for instance....fantastic college guard, but his size and lack of 3pt shooting means he doesn't have NBA knocking on the door.

I have no idea who the better 3 point shooter is between Ulis and PMac, it looks like a wash to me, but it’s pretty difficult to discern when Ulis has only put up 14 career 3s VS Pat’s 126.

Yeah; but, if someone is to claim that PMac is a good 3 point shooter, then, Ulis cannot be said to be a poor 3 point shooter when his small stats are comparable and even a little bit better.

They are both below average

Career

Ulis .286
PMac .302

Iowa needs threats all over the floor. If both could get to 35% then it would take a lot of pressure off others to score.

PMac has been trending up quite a bit, I bet his percentage in the Big this year is close to 40%. The fact that Ulis rarely takes a 3 leads me to believe he’s not very good at it.

I thought the same but he’s only at 32% in conference. To me, PMac is more a scorer than a shooter. I don’t know what think about Ulis quite yet. It’s very possible that he’s a good shooter but he’s deferring because of the weapons on the floor.

Hmm. Where do you find that stat? I was looking, 32% isn’t terrible, but not great. Enough where they have to guard him. I agree he is more of a scorer than a shooter.

Ulis is a pretty good shooter. I think he just needs to feel comfortable launching them. I get the feeling he's a little gun shy from deep right now.
 
While there are some "issues", one nice thing about IAHSAA/IGHSAU is having Varsity Bound. It's really easy to get relatively up to date stats, and they are generally pretty accurate. A lot of states don't have that.
I agree there are some issues with Varsity Bound. Just like there are issues with the IAHSAA/IGHSAU itself.
 
Also, it was against much better competition than he probably sees in HS. He's going to be a good one.
I think the closest comparison physically for Bowen is Ulis....if there height is listed accurately. I think Bowen is a little more athletic and "maybe" more skilled as a scorer.

Next year our guard court should be the most athletic that it has been in a long long time.

Mark the tape and make fun of me later but I fully expect Sandfort to be around 45% for his career.
That would arguably make him the best 3 point shooter all time. Steph Curry never had a SEASON over 45%. I know there is not a player in the top 25 in 3 pointers made that shot 45% for their career and I would predict that none in the top 100 has shot 45% for their career. 40% is phenomenal for a volume 3 point shooter like PS will be.

Hey, he’s better than Curry 😉

Fine, fine. 40% is the mark. Jordan is around there for his career as was Jon Diebler.
