Two storylines have been following the Raptors this preseason: Kyle Lowry is in the best shape of his life and Toronto might have assembled its best team yet.

To discuss both those recent developments, the Raptors All-Star point guard joins Chris Mannix on Open Floor this week. Lowry also touches on DeMarre Carroll's arrival in Toronto, his own scintillating preseason performance and more.
