All those offensive skills you mentioned really dont matter when teams cant run plays for him. The guy people like to compare him to on the pro level, is 3 times the athlete he is. BTW how many times do GMs actually pick a player because of what fans think?

you said it would be hard for a gm to justify picking love over lopez. i just listed a bunch of reasons why it would not be hard.
lopez is listed at 7' 260.
love is listed at 6'10 270.
i wouldn't say love is undersized for a pf unless he ends up measuring out at 6'8(with shoes of course).
and i'll say this again. in college, when a guy like kevin love is one of the biggest guys lopez faced all year, he shot 47% from the field. in the nba, where kevin love is "undersized" to play pf and lopez will be playing center, you don't think that will hurt his offensive game?
