Rim-running, shot-blocking forward with proven two-way value
Tariq Owens is a long, athletic frontcourt defender who brought Texas Tech high-effort rim protection, lob finishing, and efficient low-usage scoring in the 2018-19 season, averaging 8.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game with a season-high 18 points. His biggest differentiators are length, timing, and energy—he changes shots at the rim, runs the floor hard, and fits a system that values defense and vertical spacing. If you need a mobile, plug-and-play big who can impact winning without needing touches, he’s a strong fit.
