Furthermore, lowry does this as a secondary scorer behind demar derozan. I can only imagine that he would be even better beside lebron james and kevin love instead of derozan and patrick patterson. Kyle Lowry's usage rate is a full 5% less then Kyrie's suggesting that he is much more comfortable off the ball then irving.

So based on all of this information, we still think irving is better because he can exploit defenses by going 1v1 against anyone? I don't think so. Lowry is the more valuable player based on this information. He is the better defensive player, the better playmaker, the better offball threat, the more efficient player, less of a ball hog and generally just a more savvy and creative player all around.
You know the best part about all of this? He'll be a 76er next year
