Pittsburgh’s goalkeeper All-Ecc Jaland Lowe entered Kentucky

Mark Pope Added one of the best ACC players to the next season list.

SATURDAY, Pittsburgh goalkeeper Jaland Lowe is committed to Kentucky’s Wildcats, as Travis Branham de 247sports reported for the first time. By establishing itself at 6 feet 3 inches, Lowe was appointed third all-ACC team last season after having posted permanca averages of 16.8 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 interceptions in 35.4 minutes in the second year. The native of Texas pulled 37.6% in the field, at 26.6% in depth and 88.6% of the free throw line.

Lowe, who will have two years of eligibility to stay and test the waters of the NBA Draft, joins Tulane Guard Kam Williams Like the two incoming transfers of the Wildcats so far.

Lowe was a four -star recruit Fort Bend Marshall (TX) before committing with Pitt. After getting out of the bench at the start of his first-year campaign, he won a full-time starting role for the last 19 games of the 2023-24 season. As a starter, he collected an average of 13.1 points, 4.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 interceptions in 34.5 minutes per exit on shooting divisions of 40.8 / 40.3 / 86.4.

Upon entering her second season, Lowe has postponed her starting place. Its basic figures have improved in all areas, but the outdoor shot has dropped. After shooting more than 40% of Professor In ACCP Play in the first year, he pulled only 25.8% from Beyond the Arc in ACCP PLAY in the second year.

That being said, as a crash in a career in a career of 87.7%, there are reasons to believe that the left -hander can come back where he was as a recruit. In addition to this, its use rate exploded from first to year two when it became the main initiator of Pitt in 2024-25. In Kentucky, it will not be asked to transport almost as heavy with an offensive load.

“I would say that Lowe’s greatest forces are his ball manipulation and creativity,” said George Michalowski, who covers Pitt basketball for Pittsburgh Sports, recently told KSR +. “He likes to go to his left, and he has a deep bag of towers with the ball in his hands. (Lowe) ran a ton of pick and roll in Pitt, and almost all possessions, he had the ball in his hands by invented the offensive and creating.”

Lowe’s second campaign was still good enough to win the honors of the third All-ECC team. He is a high -level playmaker at his best when surrounded by shooters and someone who can create live turnover at the other end. It is a good collection for the Pope and the company.
