Re: Kevin Love
He really doesn't seem to be in shape in terms of how his body looks (I admit he doesn't seem winded on the court from what I've seen). I wonder how much lack of athletic ability is him just not being overweight. Not only does he seem to be carrying to many pounds, he doesn't have much definition in terms of his muscle mass. I'd imagine his draft stock and ability to play at the next level would be greatly improved if he can work on his body. He's got the skills otherwise

Some people are naturally thick and can never get that skinnier look to them. Love might not be defined, but he's definitely very strong.

For those who have seen his games - who does he remind you of?

I gotta agree with his athletic concerns. He doesn't look too trim, and he seriously lumbers down the court. I think Roy Hibbert has better end-to-end speed.
You see that and you'd like to write him off, but then you see a guy like Boozer who fell to the 2nd round with similar concerns. He'll be a top 20 pick whenever he comes out, regardless.

Re: Kevin Love
Really? Fortson and Killingsworth?
I have to admit, I'm getting sucked into the Love love. He boxes out well, has an array of post moves, can play with his back to the basket, and he understands the game so well. He makes great passes, and will even pop out for the three if the defense isn't paying attention. And despite looking a little soft, he's very strong/powerful. My Draft experience tells me to discount anyone who looks like that, but his game is really awesome to watch.

Re: Kevin Love
Most likely he will come out this year and be a lotto pick. Would be a good 6th man type.

this pretty much sums it up for me. i wasn't really all that high on love at the start of the year, but the more i've seen him, the more i think he's going to be a starting caliber pf in the league.
