Thanks Jason... appreciate the reply. I was having a hard time understanding it at first because of the comparison to LeBron, Durant & Kobe. It would seem to me to be more of a team stat (or at least a hybrid of some sort) -- an illustration of the huge difference so far between Lowry + starters and the bench run by Goran, who has been struggling badly. Since supporting casts and backups are different on every team, that would seem to be an unlevel playing field when looked at as an individual stat. But your reply clarified it for me and I agree Lowry is by far the most important player on this team so far.
Great read, love it. And it is clear that the Rox are much better with Kyle on the court, but the flip side to that is that the rest of the team is that much worse. The guy that impacts the game the most is the guy running the show, so we need another Kyle, or a Kyle Light to lesson that disparity. Because to me the disparity is not so much about how much better Kyle is (we all know that) but rather how much worse the rest of the team is.....lol. DD
whats Lowry's compared to Deron's? Probably would have to pull up one of Deron's past seasons cause he's on cruise control this season.
A Star is Born: Kyle Lowry Kyle Lowry is one of the best point guards in the NBA. Allow that thought to settle and stir within your mind for awhile. Sounds outlandish? It shouldn’t. Because even in this golden age of point guards, Kyle Lowry – yes, the same guy who was selected late first round in the 2006 draft and later acquired by the Rockets for a song – is currently standing eye to eye with any other elite player you can name at the position. Derrick Rose, Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo … Lowry isn’t just in that conversation – he is the conversation. How else to describe the situation presently playing out for the 6th-year Philly kid from Villanova? With a style that is equal parts bulldog and bowling ball, Lowry currently ranks as the league’s No. 2 point guard (just a shade behind Paul) in terms of Player Efficiency Rating while sitting alone at the top in rebound rate (with no other point guard even within shouting distance of him in that category). Meanwhile, he’s tied for fourth in the NBA in assists per game, tied for first among point guards in 3-pointers made per contest and sixth among players at his position in 3-point percentage – the last two superlatives being especially impressive given the fact he largely spent the first four years of his career shooting well below 30 percent from downtown. ........ http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/kyle_lowry_is_making_his_mark__2012_01_18.html What i love most about this guy is his sheer confidence and determination as well as his humble attitude, hes no cocky diva, rather a junkyard bulldog. KEEP UP THE BEASTING! KLOW7 4 ASG
