2023!! CHAMPIONSHIP (?)
Love entered last season as a top recruit and potential lottery pick. He didn’t live up to expectations last season, but he has fixed most of his problems. His shooting was disgusting last year, but his 3 point percentage last season was north of 40%. He is still not a great midrange, but he is flashy. He is a good three point shooter off the dribble, and shows some creativity with the ball. Love has great burst and is shifty around the rim. At the hoop, he loves to get fancy with his shots. He has some shake and bake in his game. He’s a great athlete and can shoot with confidence from anywhere. When he isn’t shooting from deep, he is a great finisher. He has great vertical explosion and can dunk through traffic. He could improve as a playmaker, but he is an excellent passer. He sees the open man and gets it to the dunker. An interesting trait that can help him is the fact that he is ambidextrous. He is right handed, but quite frequently uses his left. Love has potential to be a great guard defender as well. He gets his fair share of steals and is an ok blocker. He needs to develop into more of a facilitator, but he can be a nice piece on a contender.
