Thought Westbrook+ Curry were clearly 1 and 2 in no particular order.
I mean Lowry is a part of 2 lineups this year that lead the league in Ortg-Drtg (better than the Warriors best lineups). Raptors have the best offence in history, it's time to give the guy at the head of that his due. Because of those things you could probably put him in the conversation with Curry and Westbrook, but I will hang off doing that for a while.
Yikes. CP3 is so underrated.
Paul is grading way better defensively (2.72 DRPM to Lowry's 0.20) and overall (8.93 RPM to Lowry's 6.79). Paul generates significantly more steals in fewer minutes per game.
Paul is averaging 9.6 assists and 2.3 TO. Lowry is averaging 7.3 assists and 2.9 TO.
You even cite rebounding as an advantage to Lowry for some reason but Paul averages more rebounds in fewer minutes (9.3 TRB% this season to Lowry's 7.1).
Paul's on/off is +15.2. Lowry's is +13.9.
I like Lowry a lot and think he's generally underrated (lol @ the dudes that think DeRozan is Toronto's best player or anywhere close) but CP3 is on another level.
