Solid Move - Kyle Lowry

In spite of the limitations of our squads ability to attract top FAs year after year, we managed to score a solid player in Kyle Lowry via trade this off season. I remember reading about Lowry as a SLAM Magazine Punk !! He's the type of player who has fought for everything he has achieved in the league so far, and his style of play, work ethic, and attitude will definitely be positive for this Raptors squad. From his time in Memphis, to his opportunity in Houston, Kyle Lowry has been a solid improving player year by year.

Essentially the Raptors are giving this young man the keys to the car and with that being said, his ability to lead will be seen first hand by our city. I am confident that Lowry will not only step up and embrace that role, but will show many ball heads around the L that he is no pushover. On the top of my head I see a projected line up of

Lowry
Derozan
Johnson (James or Amir) - D and toughness / ability to guard the 3 in the NBA
Andrea
Jonas (apparent 2nd pick in this year's draft according to my home @seankolenko)

I can live with that, and I think Lowry in either the run and gun or 1/2 court set will work well with a lineup like that. Having Fields/Davis/Ross/Gray/Quinn coming off the bench alongside Jose (if he's still here) or whatever backup PG could give us a decent competitive squad on the court for us...key word here is could. Lowry, should excel here and his play alone can hopefully bring some smiles and turn a casual fan into a solid follower all based on the way he plays the game. In Toronto, that sometimes means a bit more.
