Lowry WAS a good defender. He has been average to below average the last two years IMO. An aging small guard just cannot keep up on the defensive end.
Agree. Raptors as a whole declined without Kawhi, Gasol and Ibaka but Lowry clearly lost a step as well. Team defense is still great but his on ball defense is a problem. More often than not he is getting the easiest perimeter matchup. VanVleet on the best guard. Anunoby on the best wing. Not the best fit on a Mavs team that already has big matchup problems on the perimeter and a center that lacks the mobility to defend in space.
