Line of the articles:
Williams, now the Raptors’ director of player development, first met Lowry when he was in high school. Williams’ alma mater, Villanova, was trying to recruit Lowry. Villanova wanted Williams to help with the pursuit, which was ultimately successful.
“Point blank: Kyle, he was an a—— when I first met him,” Williams says. “I didn’t have a great relationship with him.
“He was dismissive. He was rude. But you know what? He was focused. At that age, at that time, he thought he had to be a certain way. Being from Philadelphia, not only do they have to be tough, but they have to have that persona that they are tough.”
While the Houston situation proves Lowry can still get defensive, he has matured as his career has progressed. Heimerdinger says Lowry seemed far happier when he last saw him, when he was injured with the Grizzlies. Lowry is now a father to Karter, his son with Ayahna Cornish, who excelled on the court at both Cardinal Dougherty and St. Joseph’s University. He eschews a lot of the glamour that comes with the life of a professional basketball player. He frequently makes unpublicized trips to children’s hospitals.
Williams has been monitoring Lowry’s growth for a decade now.
“Now, it’s a beautiful relationship,” Williams says. “He has an older brother, but I feel like I’m an older brother, too.”

Really when I think about it, heading into the draft I wanted the team to find a way to get TRoss, and either DLillard or KMarshall. For me, TRoss and KLowry is a huge upgrade to that 'plan' of mine so I am very happy with those two pieces of this off-season.
