I don’t recall seeing Bowser making one solo offensive move this year. He scores some on alley pop dunks and an occasional put back but no pure offensive moves. I have watched a lot of big men who were not as athletic as Cooper develope some basic inside loves like a jump hook or reverse spin to the hoop that makes them somewhat dangerous. Why is he not developing at this stage of the year? Slawson was a defensive force from the get go and had to develope his offensive skills as he went along. He did so each year. I would like to see some evidence of that progress. He needs to spend the summer at Rucker Park in Harlem.

I have been saying the same thing. I don’t recall anything but dunks and putbacks, definitely needs to develop some sort of shot. He needs to put on at least 30 pounds and get stonger. Many times people get the ball from him after he gets the rebound. Lots of potential.

Yep, still don’t see much around the basket. In that video he gets bumped and moved easily. Like I said at least 30 more pounds needed for his size frame. You can see the potential he has for sure.

I don't think Slaw was good at ANYTHING as a Fr.....he's model of development over his years in the program.

If Bowser follows the same trajectory he will be really really good.

Yes but Chet has an outside game unlike bowser who had just had easy put back and ally oop dunks. Him rim protection alone is vital but I have yet to see anything on the offensive side. As of right now he is only a defensive player

You have seen him shoot 3’s in a game? When?
