Kevin Love the most underrated player at the FIBA's?

[Guest STL10]

He started out as the 11th man, and now he plays a lot and quite well for USA.

 

He is an avid rebounder.

 

A great outlet passer.

 

Has a sneaky 3-point shot.

 

Also, he never lets anyone get an easy shot.

 

Explain to me again WHY he doesn't start for the Wolves???

He probably is. He has played exceptionally well at the FIBA's. He has a nice stroke and he can finish at the cup. He's not too explosive but he is a very vital player.

...because he played the same position as Al Jefferson, and neither have the versatility to guard NBA centers or small forwards effectively.

 

Perhaps Love's play in FIBA is showing us why the Wolves management chose to get rid of Al J instead of Love.

Really dont think hes underratred lol. Alot of people have been talking about Love and how he is key to USA's success.

[AllenIverson#1fan]

Very underrated player. Has showed up better than more than half the team has and being the 11thman it's hard.

[Lone Wolf]

His stamina isn't high. He can only play for 30 minutes or less before he starts to slow down.

^Wasn't it because of Milicic? I read an article that, for a strange reason, Rambis wanted to experiment Milicic with AJ. Experiment that lasted a month with Love on the bench... and nearly piss him off enough to demand a trade.

 

 

I love this guy. If he rebounds only 6-7 a game, I'd say he's a bust (for being taken so high). But he's just a rebounding machine, can pass extremely well, can shoot extremely well, just has a very IQ and feel of the game. I would trade Nene for him straight up.

[Lone Wolf]

He did start as PF/C when Al Jefferson was out with the injury. He couldn't last more than 30 minutes. He really needs to work on his athleticism and stamina before he can go 30+ minutes. Whatever he does in those 30 minutes are pretty damn good, though.

Eric Gordon man. I never knew he was that good
