i kind of feel the same way...sort of...he reminds of a tyler hansborough/christian laettner type player, in that he might dominate in college, but he may suck at the next level...
the only difference is that kevin love is so young, and i think he has even more room to grow as a player...and he has the natural size...at 6'10" 270, his size/skill combo alone make him an excellent pf...and i've also noticed that he is deceptively athletic...he won't win any dunk contests, but he can get up with ease...
like i said before, if rose/bayless/gordon/mayo/westbrook are available, i say we take the guard, but if we miss out on those guys, then i think love would be an excellent value pick...add to that, the fact that love is a taylor made dunleavy type player...and i would probably take love over collison if given the choice...collison doesn't impress me at all...too small and he will get posted up all day by bigger guards, and he may be quick, but he's not strong enough to stop dribble penetration by opposing guards...and collison is older than the other lottery picks...
