BOWLING GREEN — The days of multiple 7-footers roaming NBA hardwood are gone, and the league has shifted to speed, outside scoring, and defending more than one position.
Such traits apply to Daeqwon Plowden, who is working towards his future in professional basketball.
Plowden is aiming to become the third Bowling Green State University player drafted to the NBA since 1997, and the fourth since 1987. The last Falcon to earn the call was Richaun Holmes in the second round in 2015 by Philadelphia. Before Holmes, Antonio Daniels was chosen fourth overall by Vancouver in 1997, and Frank Booker went to New Jersey in the seventh round in 1987.
