I’m not too familiar with Zoom and Lowe was barely around considering his injury so I’d be curious how the two PGs compare to one another.
Is Zoom an upgrade from Lowe?

Not even getting into the analytics of it all. Simple answer: yes, drastically.
I think the better question might be, is he an upgrade to Aberdeen. They seem very similar based on descriptions of Zoom’s game.
Healthy Diallo > healthy Lowe
It's not particularly close.

I'm not sure if he's better than a healthy Lowe but he's way better than an injured Lowe.
edit note: I just looked at the stats. Yes, Diallo is better than a healthy Lowe.

Hope everyone realizes this last season was a disaster because of the disconnect between players. We didn't have a talent problem. Maybe slightly yes because of injuries. If Lowe played we would be slightly better
I would pick this guy 10/10 times over Lowe. Get some grown *** men in here. All these guys are talented. Get some guys like Diallo and other above average players and then throw Stokes in the middle to facilitate. Question remains will Pope get that Stud in Stokes?

Two very different guards. Zoom is a better scorer and defender. Bigger and stronger. Lowe is smaller and shiftier and a better passer.
I think Zoom is similar to Ashton Hagans without as much defense.
I don’t think we got to see enough of Lowe to give an informed answer to that question.
but he’s certainly a better option than the injured dude we briefly saw dragging around a separated shoulder this season.

I can see why people compare him to oweh, but to my eyes he has a better handle, better passer. Better mid range jumper. About the same at finishing at the rim!
In his SR year the oweh was a solid shooter, but I see zoom improving his. So imo he is a better fit at point then oweh at the 3 spot.
We shouldn't compare oweh as a sr to diallo as a Sophomore.
Having said that I love oweh. He took toughness and heart to another level! Clutch as well!

I’ve never used Butler but Zoom has a pretty good user interface for live video sharing in a professional or personal setting.

From what I’ve seen he’s strong and good at driving to the basket. What I’ve been doing is looking at game logs of our portal targets against the best competition on their schedules. He had some good games and against good competition. I don’t care what Jeff Goodman says, I think he’s a good basketball player.
Seen a bunch of Aberdeen and four or five full Z Diallo games.
Diallo is far more of a pg. Aberdeen is a fair bit better overall player, mainly because IMO Aberdeen is really good.
As the OP said, Diallo and Lowe are very different players as pgs. Diallo is a fair bit bigger and stronger, and Lowe, when healthy, is more instinctive.

The real question for debate is:
Is Diallo a PG that can lead us to the Final Four?

Need legit shooters for him to pass to
If diallo can help get Stokes to sign with us, I’d rather have him over any other guard in the country.
At Zoom's size and build, he should be a huge upgrade on defense, finishing at the rim and rebounding.
If he stays healthy and has good players around him, he will improve throughout the season. I believe he has a lot more upside.
Same with the comparison to DA. DA was never a pg, he was a scoring guard, Diallo is going to set others up to score much easier.
Loved DA, but I think Zoom will be the better pg, but we need really good shooters too. Didn't have enough shooters last year.

At this point I’m just hoping we can make the tournament. I’m not even expecting a deep run or an SEC regular season title. Seems unrealistic.
