High school junior Derrick "D-Bow" Bowen has worked hard (Next; Slump) to prove he's more than just "potential" on the basketball court. He's earned his coach's trust and the starting point guard position, but the Marion East team is falling apart. Waltman skillfully blends play-by-play basketball action with strong character development and dialogue that echoes the authenticity of the urban setting.
