The writer of Rounders kept tweeting how SImmons was the best hoops writer out there and I told him that he should read more writers, and one of the people I recommended was Lowe, who then proceeded to dump two turds onto the internet right afterwards.

Being able to make up solid articles when the well is dry and the deadline is coming is a key talent for top sportswriters and Lowe struggles mightily when it comes to those articles. And I feel like that's going to be even more pronounced on Grantland where they expect longer pieces.
