Could Kyle Lowry be the answer the the Toronto Raptors point guard situation?
A day into Toronto Raptors training camp and Kyle Lowry is already barking at his teammates.

And as his friend, mentor and former Raptors point guard Alvin Williams tells it, they haven't heard anything yet.

It's the part of his personality that attracted the Raptors when they acquired Lowry in the off-season, a measure of toughness coupled with sky-high confidence not recently seen around the Air Canada Centre.

The point guard, who could supplant Jose Calderon in the starting spot, isn't yet in full voice as he adjusts to a new team. But Williams said it's only a matter of time.

"Jose, when he's been running the show, is a very good point guard, so Kyle has to find his way in," Williams said on Day 1 of Raptors training camp at the Canada Games Centre in Halifax. "He'll pick and choose when to push people and when not to push people.

"In enough time, he'll be in everyone's faces."
