Kyle Lowry is still a significant piece for the Raptors, even though how he impacts games has changed (DaveZarum)
to a decisive win thanks in part to a 24-point, 10 assist, seven rebound performance that also saw him go an impressive 6-11 from beyond the arc.
The Raptors’ lineup — and fortunes — have undergone fairly major changes this season, for the better. But among the constants — the ever-improving Pascal Siakam, the steady Fred VanVleet, the new-and-improved Serge Ibaka and the developing OG Anunoby — Lowry remains as critical as ever to the Raptors’ success, even if the way he goes about impacting his team has changed fairly significantly.
But in the 2017-18 regular season, over 45 per cent of Lowry’s shot attempts were of the catch-and-shoot variety, with field goals being launched after touching the ball for less than two seconds, according to NBA.com’s tracking statistics. This season that number is just over 47 per cent. The rapid-fire catch-and-shoot three has become a fundamental tool for NBA offenses these days as teams look to maximize both scoring opportunities and possessions. Lowry, like many others, has adapted accordingly.
