Brian Bowen II was one of the biggest recruits in the nation back in 2017. He committed to the University of Louisville before the FBI scandal and transferred to South Carolina. After being ruled ineligible by the NCAA, Bowen sat out the 2017-18 season. He tested the NBA waters after that season but decided to play his 2018-19 season in Australia. He is back in the NBA Draft this season but with a different result in mind. The Indiana Pacers have shown preliminary interest in Bowen.
Coming out of La Lumiere High School in La Porte, Indiana, Brian Bowen was highly touted.
