SALT LAKE CITY — When Ky Bowman was a standout two-way football player at Havelock High School in North Carolina, it didn’t matter whether he was playing wide receiver or defensive back. “I’m still going to get a hit,” Bowman said. “I’m going to come across the field and get a hit on somebody.”
Bowman’s hit anyone, anywhere mentality is helping him carve out a role with the Warriors. Hardly an interview goes by without Bowman mentioning his ability to “pick up 94” — referring to his eagerness to defend opponents for the full 94-foot length of an NBA court.
