Maverick Rowan (born July 14, 1996) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Lakeland Magic of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the North Carolina State University and participated in the 2017 NBA draft,[1] but ultimately withdrew his name from the draft after the college deadline.
Playing career
High school and college
Rowan, the son of former NBA player Ron Rowan,[2] played high school ball at Lincoln Park High School in Midland, Pennsylvania and at Cardinal Gibbons in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He earned Pennsylvania 1A Player of the Year honors as a sophomore and Florida 5A Player of the Year distinction his junior year.
He joined the North Carolina State men’s basketball team for the 2015-16 season, averaging 12.9 points per game, hitting 81 of his 241 shots taken from beyond the arc, which set a new NC State freshman record.[3] He also corralled 3.1 rebounds per contest.
As a sophomore, Rowan sank 53 threes in 25 games, pouring in 12.0 points and 3.7 boards per outing. After the conclusion of the 2016-17 campaign, he opted to forgo the remaining two years of his college eligibility to launch his professional career and to enter the 2017 NBA draft.[4] He was originally one of three NC State players to do so, with the others being Ted Kapita and Dennis Smith Jr.[5] However, Rowan was one of two college players during the international players' draft deadline to withdraw his name from the 2017 draft while also not returning to college.[6]
Professional career
On August 3, 2017, Rowan signed a three-year deal with Serbian club FMP Belgrade.[7] On October 12, 2017, he was released by FMP after appearing in three ABA League games. He averaged 2 points and 0.7 rebounds per game.[8] He then joined the Lakeland Magic of the NBA G League. He is now playing for the San Antonio Spurs for the 2018 NBA Summer League.
