To celebrate Pitt guard Jaland Lowe’s 20th birthday on Friday, let’s look at all of the stories we have written about Lowe this summer.

Stay up to date on the latest news regarding Lowe, the Pitt basketball team, and the Panthers’ recruiting with Pittsburgh Sports Now. Below are all of the articles we have written about Lowe this summer (hint, it’s been a busy one for him).

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 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.
