The 6’6’’ shooting guard played in six games with the Atlanta Hawks last season, averaging 7.2 points (64% from the field and 52% from three) and 1.8 rebounds in 12 minutes per game. Let’s get completely carried away and check out his Per 36 minutes based on those six games: 21.5 points and 5.5 rebounds.
OK, back to reality.
Plowden is 26 years old and was a member of this year’s Kings Summer League roster. He averaged 7.3 points on 41% from the field and 37% from three in Vegas. He added 2.7 rebounds. He spent most of last season playing for the College Park Skyhawks (29 games), averaging 15.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals. He shot 39% from the field and 30% from three. That was his third season in the G League. His points, rebounds and assists all have increased each season. So has his turnover numbers, however, and his shooting percentages last season were the lowest of his three seasons, which came with an increase in attempts.
