Each and every time Phenom Hoop Report gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Chase Lowe
Class: 2022
Committed to: William & Mary
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“In breaking down Lowe’s actual identity, we find a very unique player. While the success of Weddington should be credited to their entire roster and coaching staff, Lowe is still the clear fulcrum of their well-oiled machine. At a strong, fluid 6-foot-5, he can typically be found running the team as the primary creator. The lefty is brilliant at utilizing his intelligence to outthink and outmaneuver the opposition. Lowe is an incredible passer with the ability to access unreal angles and pinpoint teammates while under duress. He’s a quality athlete but doesn’t necessarily rely on explosiveness to make plays. Lowe legitimately defends four positions comfortably, and should likely still be able to toggle between three or so at the Division I level. His blend of size, instincts, and versatility makes him an elite piece defensively. He rebounds the ball at a high volume, consistently forces turnovers with ease, and applies nonstop offensive pressure in transition. Lowe finishes pretty much everything at the rim, regardless of contact.”
“6’5 Chase Lowe of CC Elite 17U has shown so much improvement from the past summer. He has fully transitioned into a lead guard and showed that he could be high level at that position. Physically, he has the length accompanied by the strength and size that allows him to be a mismatch at that position. All weekend long he did a phenomenal job at not only attacking and finishing at the rim but also setting up his teammates as defenses honed in on him; he showcased his versatility on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he moves his feet well and utilizes his length to disrupt opposing offenses. If he continues to showcase his ability to play the lead guard and shows improvement in his shot from three, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start pulling in offers. Scholarship level coaches should be all over him now before it gets too late.”
“He’s a strong, athletic wing prospect with nice size, IQ, and an active two-way motor, which allows him to make constant contributions. Lowe doesn’t necessarily need the ball to make an impact, as he’s proven to be a quality rebounder, passer, and off-ball cutter. He scored fairly well from all levels, but was the most effective when attacking the basket and finishing through contact. Lowe displayed solid instincts on defense and did a nice job of utilizing his anticipation skills to jump into passing lanes.”
“Starting with 2022 6’5 Chase Lowe, there aren’t too many players with his IQ, his size, his play-making ability, and his leadership/winning ways. Lowe continues to bring a ton of production with his game, whether it is attacking the paint and finishing strong with his body or making the high IQ play to set up his teammates. I can only imagine many coaches saying that they would love to have a 6’5 point guard leading the way and one that has his winning mentality.”
