I haven't really seen any college players play but I do read a lot and most sites say about the same thing about most players, so I take their word for it because how can 4-5 sites all lie?
I don't think 4-5 sites will be calling Kevin Love soft.

I think the fact that they lie about height is stupid, who really cares? So, since i'm about 5'11, that makes me 6'1? Wow i'm a decent sized point guard huh.
That's what I've been thinking for years. Charles Barkley was actually 6'4" and Malik Rose is 6'3".

All i'm saying is that we need a full sized PF with great defense to replace O'Neal if he leaves, and Love doesn't bring that.
Love has a great built for a PF. It just works better for him offensively than defensively. He's not a bad defensive player at all, though. He can block a few shots, steal the ball on occasion, and he's not too bad defending the post. He's 19 years old and is one of the most polished big men in this draft.
If you want mainly defense, you want one of the Lopez brothers, but Brook isn't going to fall to us, and 11 is way too high for Robin. Jordan certainly has defensive potential, but he's too much of a prospect player for Larry Bird and isn't very smart on the floor. Roy Hibbert has Eric Dampier written all over him, so if that's what you want, so be it. I don't.
Well I guess i'll take your guyses word for it and be a little nicer about the guy. He broke the backboard in a high school game did you guys know that?
Heres the Clip:
Well I guess if thats not tough I don't know what is.

Yeh, I saw that a few weeks ago. Beastly. Keep watching videos.
His name is going to be fun to make fun of if he is a Pacer.. it'd give us something to talk about. We could nickname him "Tough Love" and if he is a bust "Love stinks"

Personally if we don't draft a guard in the first round, I wouldn't mind us drafting Mario Chalmers or even Ty Lawson if he slips into the second round. But the guy I want the most in the second round is Joey Dorsey. Say whatever you want about his offensive game, but the guy is a monster.
Closet Indiana fan here, so take it or leave it...
I think it would be foolish to pass over a point guard / combo guard in the first round, especially if Eric Gordon, Russell Westbrook, and DJ Augustin are available. Augustin especially has the potential to be a solid NBA PG.
As for the second round pick. There are several other solid guards that could be available, three of which are 4 year college guys - Courtney Lee, Shan Foster, and JR Giddens.
