    I was arguing just because Lowry had a (much) better start into the season, he's not necessarily a better player overall. Nothing more. Btw, he was tearing it up again against Dallas today.

    I was looking at Lowry & Dragic's defensive numbers (the FG% comparison numbers that are on NBA.com). Lowry's numbers weren't like lockdown by any means, but Dragic's were really bad this year. Any explanation for that? I further looked at his teammate Isaiah Thomas' numbers, and they were good. Why does Dragic have such bad defensive numbers this year?

    I second this. Lowry is very close, though.

    surely the more relevant debate is Lowry versus Bosh/Carmelo - would he have signed here is we had beat his door down and put him to the from our queue rather than our back-up signing

    This is my one complaint about McHale. He mishandled the Dragic v Lowry situation when Lowry came back from that weird bacterial infection. I don't think there was any hope getting Lowry back after that.

    What did McHale do wrong?

    He's an ok defender at best, and he's absolutely not a SG, now he's playing SG full time, whereas his good games last year were when Bledsoe was injured and Green was the SG. Where he's historically been a size mismatch for himself as a large point guard, he's now playing against guys bigger than him.

    I don't even understand why Phoenix want to keep him, they misuse him on both sides, so it's starting to seem more like a 3yo "because he's mine" mentality rather than anything else.

    Lowry's playing at a crazy level this year. There is no comparison. Dragic hasn't proven himself as a difference maker
