With Chris Paul off the market, the Denver Nuggets may have to turn to other options at point guard. This makes one ask if they should give Kyle Lowry a look?

Kyle Lowry has became a top 10-15 point guard in today’s NBA. He and Demar Derozan form one of the most dynamic and entertaining duos in the league.

Despite his loud and somewhat boisterous personality, he is to be feared by opposing defenses. That is unless it is the post season. This is where it gets dicey for Denver possibly going after the veteran star.

Does Lowry have star power? Absolutely. Would he make Denver more attractive? Yes. However, I do not think it would be enough to lure in a third star to mesh with he and Nikola Jokic. Plus, Denver already has great prospects at the guard position anyway. Not to mention, Lowry’s playoff resume is not exactly stellar.

He has had injury trouble in the playoffs the last couple years and even when he does play in the post season, his performance is sometimes questionable. Maybe he just needs a new team with a new cast, but if Denver wants to do more than simply reach the playoffs, they may want consider staying away from the Toronto point guard.

On the other hand, he could be the springboard for the Nuggets becoming a force in the future. We will find out soon enough what Denver and Kyle Lowry decide.
