2002 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Has an NBA ready body that enables him to absorb contact in the lane ... Athletic runs the floor well and has great leaping ability ... Defensively Owens is a excellent shot blocker due to his explosive leaping ability and good timing ... When on the perimeter he likes to use a number of fakes to get his defender off their feet for the easy drive ... Good rebounder due to his leaping ability because of this he is also a threat to get easy put-backs ... Has decent touch around the basket when converting soft jumpers and tip-ins ... Finisher in transition as his athleticism and strong body ensure easy opportunities ... Versatile as he can play either forward positions ... Unlike many young players he possess solid defensive footwork ... Coach able player who has a burning desire to get better ... Hustles on every play whether it’s diving for lose balls or scrapping down low for the offensive rebound ... Team player who has no problem doing all the little things that coaches love ... Offensively he is comfortable with his back to the basket often Owens relies on a lot of power moves to score ...

Weakness: Offensively Owens is a average perimeter shooter who struggles to hit shots best when having to shoot off the dribble or when he is off balanced ... Could be without a position as he is a tweener who lacks the height to play power forward and is undeveloped when it comes to perimeter shooting that is required of small forwards ... Ball handling is somewhat adequate right now but will have to be upgraded if he is to play small forward in the NBA ... Susceptible to double teams and doesn’t do a good job of passing out of them ... Post footwork remains unrefined but has improved each year ... While he does get his share of free throw opportunities rarely does Owens benefit as he doesn’t convert a decent number of his attempts ... Has had some problems finishing around the basket when playing against taller players ...
