Lowe is going to have a much more difficult decision than Bub. Bub was guaranteed 1st Round. This draft report looks good but I am not all that confident that Lowe will be a 1st Rounder. I think its possible but its a heck of a risk to come out early, go 2nd Round and then not make a roster or get a 2 way when he'd be giving up around $1 million or so either at Pitt or in the portal.

Look what happened to him against Duke's height. That's only going to be worse in the league. He needs to get stronger, and develop an outside shot before he can complete in the NBA.

Seriously, after a game against Duke at Cameron? The NBA game is wide open. Teans cant clog up the middle. If you watch the NBA you would not make this statement. Half of the teams dont even start 5 players with Duke's height. There are lots of players at guard that are 6'3 or smaller.

Lowe's game translate becuse he does drive to the hoop. At 6'3 he will get more foyl calls drving to the basket.

Wow...dont take it so personally.

He also struggled to beat his man off the dribble. The Duke players are a fair representation for NBA players. Like I originally stated, he needs some additional muscle and a better outside shot to keep defenders honest.

The weight/muscle is nothing to worry about because he's young. Outside shooting is the big fear right now. He shot 35% last year, which is fine but has dipped to 28.6%.

Except NBA teams don't really use a guy's three point shooting percentage as a stand in for how well they will shoot from the outside in the NBA. They actually use their free throw percentage.

And Lowe's is 90.6%.
