He had no other options after his NCAA scandal, playing in a deep NBL team mightn't have helped but a two way contract isn't bad. If he's good enough he'll make it.
He came over to the NBL as a possible 2nd-round prospect - he was never going to be top-10/15 after the narrative saw what happened with him and the NCAA. Good to see him land in the NBA via G-League.
Kinda surprised Bowen went undrafted. I thought he did ok here.
Before he joined the Kings, I looked through a bunch of different mock drafts and he was mostly in the 15-20 range. Be interested to know why his stock dropped sharply when there is nothing super obvious.
The hype when he came over was fringe first rounder. He was also supposedly top 20 in his high school class and was being considered as a draft prospect if he declared last year. So yeah he was a real chance. The NBL clearly did not help him.
I think he'll be ok long term though. 2 way contracts have shown to be a good move for players. Plenty have quickly gotten full deals and I think he'll DD well.
