Kyle Lowry is asked to do one thing one season and he does it, and he’s asked to do something different another season and he does it, and there has been one constant to his evolving role with the Raptors.
Whatever he does, he does well.
With a somewhat changed roster around him this season from last, Lowry has become a scorer as much as a distributor, a focal point rather than an instigator, a multi-positional backcourt player rather than a pure point guard and he soldiers on.
Successfully.
With all due respect to Pascal Siakam and others who carry the load for the Raptors now and then, it’s the 33-year-old — the longest-serving member of the team, now in his eighth year in Toronto — who is the driving force.
