Lowry is awesome and kind of like a 6 foot version of Noah with the energy he brings, although a little less expressive
Heīll be immensely important come next season.
Has far and away the best +- numbers (+8, next best rocket was Landry at +3.5) and the Rockets were 6-10 with him out.
But he isnīt a
great individual defender really, doesnīt do a good job challenging shots out on the perimeter and has a tendency to abandon his assignment.
And yeah, Rockets take a ton of charges, thatīs their compensating for no shot blocker. Leading the league there as a team and Lowry (2), Scola(12), Battier (14) and Hayes (15) are in the Top15 individually. Plus the last 20 games they had Jeffries who only leads the league ...
