    Better, but still not 11 assists per game better. He's not the best passer in the NBA.

    Glad he is getting some recognition. My concern is Morey will cash in his "chip" and not get enough.

    The article says that there is a problem with his turnovers. While the 6 he had in the one game wasn't good he still is averaging 3.44 assist to each turnover which is a good number.

    It's an article about fantasy basketball.

    Lowry's TO numbers are not really alarming when you consider how much he does. Steve Nash routinely puts up the same TO numbers.

    The great thing about Lowry's season so far is that he's averaging over 4 more assists, nearly 3 more rebounds, and 1 more steal per game, even though he's getting slightly few minutes so far. Sure, it's a small sample size, but it's enough to show that not only was last year not a fluke, but he also has the potential to keep improving.

    If he can learn to shoot the 3-ball better and turn the ball over less, he will be a great point guard. But those two things are definite "if's"

    Sure, keep telling Lowry he can't do things. We'll see what happens in the end.

    Watching the last couples losses we've had, I've come to the conclusion that contrary to most people's opinions we need to get the ball in Lowry's hands MORE. Other people are simply less trustworthy with their decision making; with Lowry you can almost guarantee something good will happen.

    That's basically true for any point guard. CP3 is arguably the best point guard in the league but he couldn't lead the Hornets past the Western Conference semifinals. You need to surround great point guards with great players. That's why CP3 is playing with Blake.
