Owen is a punishing sniper from three and the midrange with a high IQ he uses to make game-winning plays. Owen is a nasty catch-and-shoot dynamo.  He loves to run in transition. Owen always plays off two feet in the paint, Owen is a wizard with the one dribble pull-up mid-range. Owen loves fueling the full-court defense. 


This past season in the Highest u18 Basketball in Victoria Owen averaged 10.9 points per game,  (2.7- 3s per game). 2023 was a breakout season, working tirelessly in the gym and on the court, improving his shot, both in speed and form and also extending his range. It paid off for Owen as a top 4 leading scorer as a bottom-age u18 player in the VJBL. Committing to leading the S & amp; C program in the off-season has seen a huge development in his core strength and agility. Owen was determined to lead the VJBL competition in his top-age u18 season, stamping his mark as an elite scorer. The 2024 season has just finished, and Owen proudly achieved his goal, leading the 3-point shooting all season. Finishing the year on top of the Victorian Championship u18 VJBL.


Owen's goal for 2025 is to play at the best division school he can. Achieve his long-term dream of playing collegiate basketball, and being involved in an elite athletic environment whilst continuing to further his studies. Owen wants to continue to learn and develop his skills, and his basketball IQ while  being part of a great team with common goals.


When on the court, nothing fuels  Owen's fire more than hard defense, resulting in a fast

transition game. Move the ball. Because Owen wants to be part of that team and impact the action fueling his team!


Being relied upon as a shooter has taught Owen to deal with adversity, the highs and

lows of having the ball in your hands for the last shot. Owen's mindset is not to focus on

the result, but on how his feet are set, his hands under the ball, his follow through, and

his guide hand. Owen has learned to trust his training; trust the reps he does every day.

He believes in himself and always is prepared for the next shot.


A coach can expect Owen to have an outstanding work ethic, extremely coachable in all aspects of life, studies, lifting weights, and agility training. Come game time - delivering high-percentage shooting from 3pt and mid-range, crafty off-ball movement, and strength driving to the rim. Owen is an inclusive team player with a vibrant drive for success.


Although  Owen has aspirations of playing D1 he sees himself playing D2 in 2025,

consistently working on his game, learning under new coaches, and developing in

new environments.


I assess all his work, attention to detail, and constant development Owen can set the stage for a bright future with high potential. We will keep a sharp eye on his journey and dream big with him as he pushes himself with purpose and passion being hungry for the right opportunity to knock on the door.
