Lowry didn't take it easy after signing the first big free agent contract of his career this offseason, and has reported to training camp in great shape, the Toronto Sun reports.

Analysis:

There were concerns in some circles that Lowry might go soft after cashing in, but the point guard laughed at the idea. "The worst thing is getting yourself out of shape and trying to get back in shape. Those people who thought I would do that, they're idiots. People that expected me to come back in shape, they're smart," he said. "Me, I like to work, I like to actually put work in, it's fun. I mean, this is my job." If he can stay healthy, Lowry figures to turn in another strong performance as the leader of a resurgent young Raptors' roster.
