Look I commend Love's passing ability, but its not a necessity that the big man knows how to pass. Beasley did just fine in K-state without being a good passer. Hansbrough job is finisher, not creator.
Has Lawson ever inbounded the ball once in his career? Probably not because it would be stupid for a PG to do so. With Love on the other hand, you often get some fast breaks before the play even begins because he inbounds it and throws the ball 50 feet in the air.

Besides that, his passing ability can't just be restricted to outlet passes. Love is a great all-around passer, even in the halfcourt game. And if teams are pulling back guys to defend against his outlets, that means they're sending less people to the glass to fight for the rebounds.
