Like you said, Lowry is likely going to be flipped to a contending team soon, but for the time being Lowry will likely serve as a good mentor for the young Hornets roster. Particularly for Lamelo as he navigates through stardom on a team that is struggling atm, something which Kyle Lowry went through in the early parts of his career in Memphis.
Lowry has a lot to give as a teacher. He is a strong personality, though, so it will require him buying into that role even as he clearly wants to be moved to a playoff team. But as you say, despite their totally different physiques and careers, I think he and LaMelo have enough in common that he could be a great voice in LaMelo's ear.
