Jaland Lowe is heading into what many think will be a breakout sophomore season at Pitt.
Lowe, a Houston, Texas native, thrived as a freshman. Now, he has the keys to the offense heading into year two.
As part of this week’s film breakdown on PSN, I looked into Lowe’s passing numbers and watched some tape.
As a freshman, he tallied 109 assists, which ranked second on the team behind Bub Carrington’s 137. Lowe led the Panthers with an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio, as he had 50 turnovers on the year.
Lowe averaged 9.6 points and 3.3 assists per game as a rookie. However, he kicked his production up a notch once he was inserted into the starting lineup. Lowe started 19 games on the year, and in those games, he averaged the following stats: 13.1 points per game, 4.1 assists per game, 1.6 turnovers per game, 4.5 field goals per game, and 1.3 three pointers per game. He shot 40.7% from the field across those 19 games, and 40.3% from three-point range across those 19 games.
His 3.3 assists per game ranked 15th in the ACC. His assist–to-turnover ratio was top-five, ranking fourth in the league. Virginia’s Reece Beekman was the lone ACC player last season to average more than five assists per game (6.2). Take a look at Lowe’s passing film below to see why many believe he can become one of the best passers in the league as just a sophomore.
Check out our other film breakdown from today, looking into Zack Austin’s shooting numbers.
