Kentucky Transfer Jaland Lowe Impresses at NBA G League Elite Camp
New Kentucky Wildcats transfer Jaland Lowe wasted no time making a statement at the NBA G League Elite Camp, drawing attention with a standout performance in the first scrimmage game.
The 6-foot-2 point guard delivered a strong stat line in just 18 minutes: 9 points, 5 assists, 1 rebound, and only one turnover, helping lead his team to an 89-85 victory. Lowe shot an efficient 4-of-8 from the floor, including 1-of-3 from deep, and finished with a game-best +15 plus/minus rating.
Lowe’s poise and playmaking caught the eye of Sports Illustrated’s Kevin Sweeney, who noted: “Had his way getting into the paint, made good decisions with the ball, [and] looks to have added some muscle.”
In a competitive environment packed with prospects aiming for NBA Draft Combine invites, Lowe’s composure, control, and physical development stood out.
Since transferring from Pittsburgh and committing to Kentucky last month, Lowe has been expected to make an early impact in Lexington. His vision and ability to attack defenses fit well with Mark Pope’s high-paced offensive system, and his showing at the Elite Camp offered a preview of what he might bring to the Wildcats’ backcourt.
With more scrimmages still to come, Lowe has the opportunity to further elevate his profile—but if Game 1 is any sign, Kentucky may have landed a key piece for its backcourt future.
