Raptors’ Lowry: Casey Connects Team Well

Casey will be on the shortlist of candidates for coach-of-the-year for helping the Raptors pull out of what looked like a fatal nosedive early in the year and earn the Raptors home court in the first round.

A big factor was his ability to connect with Lowry, of course the Raptors point guard had to be willing after clashing with coaches at Villanova University, the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets and even last season under Casey at times.

“I told him I could play for him and he could coach me. That was a big thing for both of us: he coaches, I play and that’s it.”
