6. Kyle Lowry

The Toronto Raptors have become one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. They managed to take the world champions to six games and, although Kyle Lowry had his struggles during the series, he was able to make hit some big shots throughout Toronto’s playoff run.

Like Lillard, Lowry is paired with another very good guard. Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are probably the second-best guard combo behind the “Splash Brothers” in Golden State.

Lowry was selected to his second All-Star Game last season and had by far his best scoring season. He plays with an edge that is rare for a guard of his stature.

I love Lowry’ play style, and I think that he and Derozan are due for another division title.
