Former BGSU men’s basketball star Daeqwon Plowden has signed with the Atlanta Hawks.
Plowden was previously on a two-way deal with the Golden State Warriors; however, he was released on Sept. 24 to make room for 2024 draft pick Quinton Post before clearing waivers and signing with Atlanta.
BGSU men’s basketball head coach Todd Simon congratulated Plowden on joining the Hawks in a post on X.
“His work ethic in the offseason here when we first met last year told me everything about where he was headed. Great Falcon and role model,” Simon said.
The 6-foot-6-inch forward averaged 14.6 points and shot 39.6% from the three-point line in eight games during this year’s summer league.
Plowden attended BGSU from 2017 to 2022, where he was a Second Team All-Mid-American Conference (MAC) selection in 2020 and earned Third Team All-MAC honors in 2021 and 2022.
Plowden finished his Bowling Green career with 1,618 total points and 935 rebounds (fourth in program history). The former All-MAC defensive player never missed a game with the Falcons and is the program leader in total games played with 154.
After going unselected in the 2022 NBA draft, Plowden has spent time with the New Orleans Pelicans, Oklahoma City Thunder and the Orlando Magic organizations.
