Daeqwon Plowden’s basketball prowess is catching attention, particularly after a stellar performance in Golden State’s 105-66 Summer League victory over Miami. Scoring 26 points in just 24 minutes, Plowden’s teammates thrived as he posted a team-best plus-41. His contributions were pivotal to the Warriors’ undefeated 5-0 record, earning him a well-deserved two-way contract.
Standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 215 pounds, Plowden fits seamlessly into Golden State’s system. Known for his relentless energy and defensive versatility, he’s inspired comparisons to past two-way successes like Alfonzo McKinnie and Juan Toscano-Anderson. Plowden’s keen basketball IQ and ability to guard multiple positions make him a valuable asset, expected to get ample opportunities in Golden State’s rotation.
Though he shines defensively, Plowden’s offense is also noteworthy. Averaging 16.7 points on 53.7-percent shooting, including 48.1 percent from three-point range, he offers a diversified skill set. His journey from Bowling Green University to being undrafted in 2022 and now excelling in the G League showcases his perseverance and potential to excel at the NBA level.
