I wrote previously about Kyle Lowry’s shape and what it means for the Raptors. Fans are incredibly happy to see a thinner Lowry heading into the season. I didn’t rank this development higher because I still need to see the production before I believe this new change will make a noticeable difference.
A healthy Lowry from last season was already a top 10 point guard in the NBA on both sides of the ball. Although his slimmer frame could be exciting, Lowry’s sustainability isn’t nearly as sexy as some of the other new things to look forward to this season.
