Strengths: |
Love
is a throwback who always plays hard and does so while
maintaining an outstanding attitude. He's a natural leader
who teammates can rally behind. He possesses excellent
strength on the block and tends to get where he needs to be.
A productive player from the second he got to UCLA. Plays
with fire and intensity. Displays outstanding touch around
the basket. A reliable jump shooter who needs to be
guarded out to the NBA three point line. Good rebounding
ability and will be valuable to face-pace teams due to his
ability to kick the ball ahead to ignite the fast break. |
|
Weaknesses: |
Only a
marginal athlete, although he's shed about 15 pounds in
preparation for the draft and has improved in that area.
Not an explosive player, he's a guy who'll lay the ball in more
often than he slams it through. Has only average quickness
and could have some trouble sticking with some of the more
athletic power forwards in the NBA. |
|
Overall:
|
Love
has the type of game that translates quickly to the NBA.
We have no doubt that he'll be a solid player for whoever drafts
him. The question is how much upside does he have? |
