If Brian Scalabrine is still in the league....I say Love will have at least a 10 years career in the NBA.

I would love for the Clippers to somehow turn their pick into Kevin Love and a PG (Ty Lawson?). Yamenko made a great point about Love's outlet passing ability, combine that with a quick, athletic PG like Lawson or Collison and an extremely athletic, good finisher in Thornton. The new young Clippers could redefine themselves as a fastbreaking team pretty quickly.

He is an awesome rebounder, and one heck of an offensive talent. The best thing about him is his outlet passing. He would do wonders with a fastbreaking team with quick guards. His faults are defense, and athleticism. I think his NBA career will depend upon the situation in which he lands. If he gets on a good team where he isn't the savior he will be a Brad Miller type player (but a rich man's version of Miller) and be an instant upgrade to whichever team lands him right away. I am a fan of his game too but there are some big question marks concerning his NBA potential.

Love will fail miserably in the NBA. First off, he's not 6'10. Barely 6'8. He struggles against players his size, and is simply useless against player of NBA size. A 6'8, 250 lb Jon Brockman held him to 8 points. Brook Lopez held this superstar to 12 and 6.

Some might say he can find a niche as a nice role player in the league. A Big Baby/Jason Maxiell/Nick Collison type player. He won't. He's doesn't have Glen Davis' deceptive agility, he doesn't have Maxiell's presence and explosiveness, Paul Millsap's tenacity, or Collison's wingspan/man defense.

He'll be lucky to be a Scalabrine. We're looking at sub 5/5 numbers.

Out of the guys you mentioned as "role players he could end up like" the only one who has a comparable skill level to him is Collison. Maxiell is what Ben Wallace was physically imposing player that lacks the skill to take his game to the next level. Davis is just a smaller, way poorer version of Shaq.

chan i think is confusing kevin love for paul davis.

Love will do things in the nba, just wont be a star, but he will get things done..

Probably. Man Davis was a huge bust, from Mr. Basketball in Michigan to average college player to pretty much nothing in the NBA. I thought he would end up better than that.
