Kentucky's Jaland Lowe Praises Trent Noah as Best Shooter

Jaland Lowe, a transfer point guard from Pitt, has quickly become an enthusiastic supporter of Kentucky sophomore Trent Noah, calling him "the best shooter I've ever seen." Lowe, who averaged 16.8 points and 5.5 assists last season, praised Noah's shooting ability, comparing him favorably even to Blake Hinson, a well-regarded shooter Lowe previously played with. Noah, a Kentucky native and former high school scoring phenom, showed promise as a freshman with a 33% three-point shooting rate and key performances in big games, particularly against Tennessee. Kentucky coach Mark Pope has also expressed high expectations for Noah, suggesting he could become a "Kentucky legend" as he enters his sophomore season. The Wildcats, with a talented roster featuring transfers like Lowe and returning players like Noah, are seen as a strong contender for the SEC and national championships. Summer workouts and early practices have indicated Noah is improving, and if Lowe continues to be a dynamic playmaker, the team's perimeter shooting could be a major asset in the upcoming season.
