I think one of the biggest key's to Lowry's success coming off the bench was Carl Landry. Now that we have traded Landry, who was arguably our best finisher and one of our better pick and rollers with Lowry, how do you think Lowry will do? Personally I think we will see Lowry struggle a little; He is going to need to obviously re-adjust having to play with a guy like Jeffries more, and he is going to be a bit tender from his injury...
He'll definetely have to adjust a little bit now that he's playing with Jeffries/Hill as the PF, but I think he'll be just fine. He knows his limits, and he will continue doing what he's good at, ie: attack basket, take contact, and finish.
Lowery has skills so he will still be fine. He did have some great chemistry with Landry because they worked out together during the offseason. So hopefully he takes one of these young guys (hill) under his wing and does the same thing with them thus summer.
Chase did not play the same positon as carl but now that he is out of lineup I think you will notice that chase's shots per game will start to go up now. With Carl gone there will be more touches to go around in the second unit. From what I saw in the Hornets game I think Chase is going to have more of a featured roll in the second unit offense. Budinger is our best offensive player coming off the bench now and its not even close. (exclude Martin form the bench because he is not going to be coming off it long term.)
I think without Landry, we'll need to change up our late game lineups. We need Lowry in there and if that means Brooks at SG or Brooks on the bench, I'm fine with that.
