Big man, stretch threat, and a quiet glue piece for Butler
In the 2016-17 season, Nate Fowler gave Butler a useful inside-out wrinkle as a 6-10 center who could score efficiently, including 5.3 points per game on .667 shooting from the field and .476 from three-point range, rare pop for a big man.[3][5] He flashed a ceiling game of 19 points at Providence, hitting all three of his threes in that breakout off the bench, which hints at a player who can change a game when his jumper is falling.[4] The knock? He was more complementary than dominant, so he fits best as a spacing big who can punish mismatches and bring energy rather than carry an offense.[3][4]
