At 6’9 it’s hard to remain a under the radar player but Bowman has barely scratched the surface of the attention his game with garner a few years from now. With plans to hone his game at the 17u level on hold; an appearance on one of the shoe circuits at any juncture will provide him a pathway to national prominence. Immediately thereafter look for the offers to start to roll in from all the high major conferences.
Malik is still growing and is the owner and operator of an excellent mid-range game while being able to get to the rim finish with authority while rising to a floor most simply can’t visit.
He also has everything it takes to be an elite guy yet is still an unselfish passer. A true star in the making - it frankly may be a foregone conclusion for Bowman to matriculate into the Top 100 in the class, a luxury that often accompanies all the top guys in the DMV market.
There are very few who possess this package of size and skill and there is a premium on this on the high school side – this is the model that scouts look for at the next level; the bottom-line is that many of Malik’s boxes are already checked. Playing a national schedule against many of the nations best teams and players at Bishop Walsh will do nothing but continue to sharpen him.
Check out the video to understand why Malik Bowman will be considered among one of the nation’s best players in class – he has done it by meeting very specific developmental milestones and from what we can see he will only continue to do so.
