Amontae has been a steady hand for Newport over the last couple of seasons while the roster around him has been tumultuous. Lowe is a really good passer and is electric in the open court. I’ve seen him throw some lob passes that would rival some of the best highlights in the NBA on any given night. If Amontae can score as well as he creates for others, Newport is going to be dangerous this Winter and Lowe should see multiple offers coming his way.

One of the top players in northern Kentucky, Lowe has had a strong spring and has carried that momentum over to the summer with Newport. Lowe is a crafty below the rim finisher who used pivots and pump fakes to create space to score. I like Lowe’s toughness and aggressive slashing skill that allows him to be one of the top scorers in the ninth region. Lowe should be a guard target for regional Division II and NAIA programs.

A fantastic passer who thrives in the open court, Lowe has been off to a great start for Moss Elite . Amontae is a pass first player who makes everyone around him better. He could certainly attract some coaches this weekend.

In his first tournament, Amontae averaged 20 points and five assists, highlighted by an impressive 27-point performance that included five made three-pointers, earning him 17U Indy Showcase Second Team honors. He’s displayed craftiness and scoring ability at all three levels, knocking down perimeter shots with confidence while also using his shiftiness to find lanes to the basket. His ball-handling has been a major asset, allowing him to create space, control the tempo, and make a strong overall impact on the game.

He knocks down shots from both three-point range and midrange, demonstrating a well-rounded offensive game, and he reads the floor intelligently, making the right decisions when the ball is in his hands. He handles defensive pressure with poise, using his body and footwork to create space and finish at the rim. Comfortable scoring off the dribble, he also understands spacing, and looks to set up teammates when the opportunity arises, making him a true playmaker.

Lowe carried his team to the next round with an acrobatic buzzer beating layup for Newport. In a tight contest the whole way, Lowe scored the last four points of the game for Newport, two from the free throw line and two on the game-winner. 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.

Amontae, like Harris, is left with a much bigger role after Newport lost multiple players over the summer. Lowe has become the starting point guard and go to scorer for the Wildcats and it is paying dividends. Amontae is averaging over 21 points per game with shooting splits of 47/38/74 this season and is doing his best to keep Newport relevant in the race for the 9th region title.
