Lowry is 28 and in his eighth NBA season, with his third team, and is posting career highs almost across the board. Want to know how the Raptors are third in the East and could make some serious noise in the playoffs — look no further than this man (For more details check out Adrian Wojnarowski’s piece on Yahoo!).

Lowry is posting career highs in points (17.5), assists (7.7), rebounds (4.8), steals (1.6) and 3-point percentage (38.0). Not only that, but again it’s worth mentioning that the Raptors are 41-31 and have clinched a playoff berth and could still clinch the Atlantic Division here soon.
