He's hit the ground running on the varsity stage, averaging 14.5 points, 4.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game.

He dropped 40 points on 14-of-20 shooting along with seven rebounds and five assists in their conference tournament semifinal victory over Crest as he continues to show he can play at a high level. He's produced 23.2 points, 5.3 assists, 4.4 steals and 4.1 assists per game on 52 percent shooting from the field to start his high school career.

He's producing stellar numbers as a freshman with 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.3 steals per contest on 42 percent shooting from the field and 33 percent from behind the arc. He's an athletic, crafty floor general for DI and DII programs in the region to get eyes on in the Charlotte metro area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2559283"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67b759ab2ac42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lowery has been one of the leaders in the South Point backcourt alongside junior Jaishawn Woods as they look to improve on things.

He's shooting 39 percent from behind the arc while ranking seventh overall in the North Carolina in 3-pointers made, according to MaxPreps.

He put up 20.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.6 steals per contest in his varsity debut for the Wildcats. They went through some growing pains in 2024-25, but Lawler is certainly set to play with a huge chip on his shoulder in Year 2.
