I saw Newport a couple of weeks ago and Lowe didn’t play and his presence immediately made a difference in this one. A quick guard at the point of attack, Lowe found success attacking and finishing on the left side of the rim with his right hand. I also liked that Lowe usually finished off two feet, keeping himself on balance when attacking the rim.
