Kyle Lowry (TOR) – “K-Low” | “Durk”

Profile:
Point Guard: 6’0, 205 lbs; 11th year, Villanova
NBA Role: star floor general • Hybrid
Kyle Lowry is no longer underrated: over the past few years, he’s morphed into a high level Top DOG* – one of the top 15 players in all of basketball; two-way bulldog: uses his body very well, shields himself (& the ball) when blasting to the cup – physical defender when the going gets tough; fills up the stat sheet on a nightly basis – rebounds extremely well for a 6-footer and always has a courageous, pitbull mentality; go-to moves: ‘breakdown’ layup**, step back jumper going left, turnaround out of the post, & a quick-strike, transition 3; shot selection under a microscope in postseason play – struggled to convert his ‘regular season’ shots a year ago; excellent at adapting & adjusting: Lowry’s combative and takes losing personally, which makes him the right man to lead Toronto’s Northern Uprising; great connection w/ DeMar DeRozan in the backcourt – can the pair get over the hump in 2018?
