Raptors miss Lowry most from three-point land

Cory Joseph’s work with Kyle Lowry on shelf hasn’t come close to filling three-point shooting gap.

With Kyle Lowry, left, on the shelf after wrist surgery, Cory Joseph and the Raptors have struggled to find their shooting touch from three-pont range.

Cory Joseph has filled in admirably for Kyle Lowry as the starting point guard for the Toronto Raptors. His work ethic is exemplary and consistent, his defence tenacious and constant.

He plays hard and well and tries to provide a seamless transition while Lowry recuperates from right wrist surgery. But for all he does, the one major gap in Joseph’s game is exposing a gaping hole in an inconsistent Raptors offence that all too often costs the team a chance to stay in games.
