Kyle Lowry is in his 9th year. It’s amazing to think about considering the fact that he’s only come into the limelight just last year. All these years of being average and now that he’s grown, so has the Toronto Raptors. Look where they are now. Is it a coincidence that the Raptors have become a formidable team right at the same time as Kyle Lowry beginning to take control of his career? It’s all linked.
In an article by Keith Pompey of Philly.com, Toronto head coach Dwane Casey and current head coach of the Sixers Brett Brown have praised the veteran point guard.
I think he’s a stud,” Sixers coach Brett Brown said of the muscular 6-foot-1, 204-pounder. “He’s a bowling ball. He’s a pit bull. . . . He’s grown on me.”
Lowry’s biggest attributes have been his maturity and leadership. His personality came into question at times during his days with the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets.
“He’s gotten away from the reputation of being a bad teammate or whatever the perception was,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “So he’s grown from that.“
As long as Kyle Lowry keeps racking up numbers similar to his triple double the other night. Toronto will be A OK.
