Lowry's performance tonight was just a thing of beauty. We have one of, if not the deepest bench in the league... The bench combined for 50 points tonight!!!
I see that comparison, I really do. And If we want to talk about our other PG, I see him being more of a Leandro Barbosa, 6th man of the year type of player, not a Nick Van Exel type. In my opinion, Lowry just has more potential than Brooks does. Lowry is the better defender, the smarter player, better slasher and finisher.
If he ever becomes a "star" player, his production would exponentially explode, because he's got that "superstar" game where all his moves are based on baiting players into fouls, if he ever gets respect from refs, he would become unstoppable.
Proud to say I've always been a fan. He might not be the best shooter out there, but the dude is tough as nails.
I had to DVR the game so I just finished watching it. That was one of the best all-around games I've seen from a Rockets player in years. He was doing it ALL on both ends of the court. If he can play anywhere close to that level on a consistent basis (and I think he can), he could seriously be a top 5 PG in this league. Anybody who laughs at that notion probably underestimates his defense. He may be the best defensive PG in the game. Add an outside shot to his court vision, his ability to draw fouls and his rebounding and it's not hard to imagine he could be one of the best.
Lowry is a pit bull on the court. Love watching him develop... he's got the ability and potential to become at least near all-star level. He's a back up in his second year on the rockets and is just now starting to get play time to develop. The griz wasted their chance on this having this guy as a cog and will regret it. He was a steal.
LOL - yes there is major doubt, the guy played amazing last night but he is not a good shooter, and AB is a better player. We are lucky to have both, but Adelman has it right, AB is a starter in the league and Lowry is a backup. DD
Kyle Lowery is the type of player I was wanting on the Rockets. I was so tired of Rafer Alston, jacking up brick after brick. That it's refreshing to see a true PG who gets his teammates involved and picks his shots. Thank you, Kyle, for playing the position the way its SUPPOSE to be played. :grin:
Starter: Aaron Brooks Backup: Kyle Lowry That is Coach's opinion & he's the one calling the shots. If he thought that Lowry should be the starter he would have done that. He has us @ 15-11 with this lineup. No one expected us to do this but us, If you dont agree with his line-up then get on nba 2k10 & play with that lineup because it's staying like this.
