Kawhi Leonard is the best player on the Toronto Raptors. Through 12 games, he is averaging 24.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.8 steals. He looks like a legitimate MVP candidate. However, Kyle Lowry is just as essential to the team’s success.
Over the past six seasons, Lowry has become the heart and soul of the Raptors. Lowry was born in Philadelphia. He was a five-star recruit coming out of Cardinal Dougherty High School. Lowry decided to stay close to home for college. He enrolled at Villanova University. Lowry spent two seasons as a member of the Wildcats before declaring for the NBA draft.
