High-rebound Auburn big man who brings toughness and double-double upside
Bowers was a rugged, high-motor forward for Auburn in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons, averaging 12.1 points and 9.6 rebounds as a junior and 10.5 points and 9.6 rebounds as a senior while ranking near the top of the SEC in rebounding and piling up double-doubles[3]. His biggest differentiators were his physicality, defensive rebounding, and ability to impact games with effort rather than pure scoring polish, though his outside shot and free-throw touch were inconsistent[3]. For a team, he fit as an interior enforcer and glass-cleaner who raised the intensity level every night[2][3].
