    It's true, though.

    Refs were on his side in the game with A&M and almost lost.
    Simply got raped in the Memphis.

    He's always in the right place or doing the right thing. Sets great screens, great passer, can spot up. In the NBA he's not going to be depended on to be the main scorer who has to beat his man by phisically overpowering him. Look how well Scola did for the Rockets by being in the right place at the right time. Love has Scola's footwork, can use his body to box out and throws great outlet passes. He might have trouble on D, but no more trouble than Scola. He's the perfect role player on a for a team that's already good or close to good.

    I believe Love with improved athleticism and defense could be a better offensive version of Scola.

    I think might turnout to be above average NBA player, like 12 to 15 ppg and maybe about 8 to 10 rebounds. Being a decent pf doesn't necessarily require you to be greatest athlete in the world, like say a pg or sg.

    We sort don't need him, but he would be good for say team that needs good big body on the front line, he would be great for a team, like Orlando, Washington, or even New Orleans or San Antonio.

    I think team he could go in and be a good role player and possibly more.

    Some of those outlet passes are sick. He's like a qb with the basketball.

    It's a rare speciality to see a basketball player with that skill set.

    Yeah i wish Yao or scola could do that... Kevin Love is a real nice player. Wolves will be good in a few years.
