Needs to improve his shooting

Summary:
Anthony Cowan is a score-first guard that can shoot and score the basketball. He has solid speed and quickness to play the point, and he also handles the ball well.
He also is quite active on the glass as well as on the defensive end. On the downside, he can be too streaky with his jump shot, and he will need to make more outside shots consistently. Right now, Cowan has not been receiving much buzz right now, but he could be a potential second round pick in the upcoming draft.
