At Boston College, the long, celebrated tradition of guards exists among its basketball fans and followers. It's a rich part of the past, with names dating back to John Bagley, Michael Adams, Dana Barros, Howard Eisley, and Troy Bell. But it's also run through the present, with players like Reggie Jackson, Tyrese Rice, and Olivier Hanlan dotting more recent seasons.
Enjoying a breakout freshman season, Ky Bowman is now poised to add his name to that list. Just 16 games into his rookie year, he's already a two-time ACC Rookie of the Week, and he's fast become one of the most noteworthy players on a team in the nation's best conference.
