Kevin Love will be a stud in the NBA

[trig]

Most people have him going early 20th round! All I can say is those people haven't seen this kid play

20th round? so there will be 600 rooks picked ahead of him?

smartass...

Best case scenario --> Jeff Ruland

[bomber]

two key words are bolded. he is saying that he will have immediate production+upside much like Roy/Millsap

I sort of assumed that, either way not really clear. He seems like he will be a player though.

Hopefully Love's career will last longer but


Side note: do you realize that a player of Ruland's caliber and production level (prime) would be a $13+ million per year guy? I know Ruland has to wish he was born a couple decades later.

he's good. but i think he's cocky. he feels he's in the same level of OJ, Rose, Beasley, Gordon and those guys..

as if people make it "OJ Mayo vs. Kevin Love"..

He will add to his hustle points with legitamate skill in the post. His shot and strength will make up for him being abit undersized. He will I believe become a top 3 passing bigman in the league as soon as he gets in. Once he muscles up his studness will show through. Out of all the highly touted freshman, I believe Kevin Love is the most surefire thing

Well, that's just creepy.

How is he not on the level of those other freshmen?

[A.M.G.]

He will be better than Kwame Brown!!! So you should support him!

Seriously, shorter version of Chris Kaman, with Brad Miller passing skills. Could eventually be an adequate PF. The problem is that he's white.

i mean he isn't talked about/hyped like OJ and the others.

kevin love will be in the NBA but he won't be a stud.....not the most athletic big man and he has zero explosiveness....

[glidedrxlr22]

Well no one expected Brandon Roy to do as well as he has in the NBA, everyone just called him a tweener predraft.

I followed the pre-draft hype heavily and I kept hearing that Brandon Roy was the most nba ready of the bunch. In many publications he was even a pre-season rookie of the year candidate along with Foye.

I don't think Love will be as successful as you think. He's a lumbering big-man with skills. The speed of the game and the height he'll be facing will definitely limit his productivity. I wish him well though.
