2008 Draft Profile - Kevin Love

He's a great college player who knows how to score and displays a strong IQ at times. He can play in the ‘trees’, finish, and has a good touch. He will struggle defensively at the next level, and could be a major bust in the lottery. His position will greatly depend on how UCLA fares in the tournament. Love might be best suited for a few more years with such a strong program.

Draft Profile provided by: Brian Mazique - This kid is one of my favorites in the draft, he is very limited athletically, but he is a true gamer with exceptional basketball knowledge and skills. In the pros he will score decently and rebound be cause he is a wide body that knows the positioning game well. He will struggle defensively against athletic bigs, see NCAA semifinal game when handling Joey Dorsey was an extremely difficult assignment. Solid outside touch and great post moves, that said his best quality is as a passer. His rookie season he will be one of the top three passing big men in the league. He most reminds me of Bill Laimbeer, without the dirty play. Mostly, he is a winner that will ultimately be an important part of a winning team, just needs to be on a team where his weaknesses are not as easily exposed and taken advantage of.
