Miami Heat: Kyle Lowry Will Distribute The Rock So That Jimmy Doesn’t Have To

When your franchise guy doesn’t have to worry about getting everyone their shots because he knows his point guard has it covered, he’ll be able to play his game at an elite level. Butler, in this current day, still loves to create for others but maybe Lowry can help instill more ways of winning ball games.

Whether it be via creating for himself or others, Lowry just needs to make life easier for Miami’s superstar. Well, how does Lowry make life easier for Butler then?

The answer to that is simple as well. That’s by making life easier for everyone else.

Looking at the roster, you see where Lowry can improve their game, which then raises the ceiling for the team. This addition is extremely crucial for Bam Adebayo.

Giving Bam a point guard that can create off a pick and roll or drive and dish easily improves his numbers. This can help Bam become confident in his jumper and help find his spots on the court where he feels most comfortable.

Bam is always looking to help Butler facilitate, but now he doesn’t have to have that busy mindset. He can come in and look to take his next step in development, that will only help benefit the team.

Shooters can actually get the opportunity to catch and shoot now. Duncan and Tyler had to run miles and come off screens to be able to get a shot up.

With Lowry attacking the basket and being able to penetrate the defense, teams will have to help, which can cause kick outs that will let the boys be the snipers that they want to be.
