    What is your thought’s on him ? He is to me a white version of Zach Randolth. I’m not sure I would want him on my team, He doesnt seem to have a low post game like Zach though.

    He has a much higher basketball IQ than Randolph, and better overall intangibles. He’s also a gifted passer for a big, and Randolph is considered a bit of a black hole (though he’s improved here recently).

    there’s some similarities based on the fact they are bigs who play low to the ground below the rim and have tremndous skills. BUt to say love doesnt have zach’s post game is an understatement big time. Zach might have the best low post game in the league along with pau gasol while love really doesnt have much low post game.

    Zach is a go to player who i defenitely think could be the best scorer on a contender. Love is a legit all-star in my book and brings lots of intangibles but not a go to player and he needs to play with another elite level scorer.

     Just mentioned him in another thread.  I was saying that Randolph made the Grizzlies fearsome in the playoffs, and for that, he could be considered an elite player.  Whenever a player can make a difference between winning and losing on this level, they have to be considered in that catagory to me.  

    Love is not a difference maker at this point.  He has a solid game but as mentioned he is not a go-to player.  Randolph is.  Love needs to play with someone who is a difference maker.  A true elite, like LBJ, Kobe, CP3.

    On a better team, Love’s numbers would have to take a hit, in order for that team to be a winner.

    I’m not sure you can throw the ball to Love in the low post and ask him to get you 20-25 like you can do ZBO. Love prefers to pick n pop, or get his buckets in-between the action, rather than set half court iso’s.

    Love is a winner, makes winning plays, but he is not THAT guy.

    I’ve been critical of the holes in Kevin Love’s game, but I’d love to have him on my team… Just not as a go-to or franchise player.

    He’s a good player, who’s still getting better. He’s what… 22? Hopefully, he becomes a better defender and develops his post moves.

    I like the fact he’s lost weight… That changed some of my opinion about him as a player.

    love would get his numbers even on good teams. Its not like they force feed him the ball now. He just hits the open shots and gets rebounds. Only way i think his numbers take a hit is if he cant get 35+ minutes and i cant think of too many teams where he wouldnt get that

    I think his rebounds would drop on a good team, he was or maybe still is the only rebounder. Perhaps Derrick Williams will help with that.
