I've talked to Kevin Love a few times, and I agree. While he's a great prospect, he has one of the biggest egos in the '07 class. That's not a problem if it helps his game, the problem is he comes off as a smartass, but he's only in HS. Really, he's done little on the grand scale of things.

His defense in HS is fine, but his foot speed and athletic ability will effect his ability in the NBA. There is no way he has Brand's athletic ability or his defensive skills, and I doubt he ever will. He's good on the offensive end, but he needs work on the defensive aspects of his game. He's never going to be the shot blocker that Brand is.
