Love is a true point guard who plays with toughness, energy, and a high level of confidence. As a floor general, he does an excellent job controlling the pace and creating opportunities for teammates while also being a major threat in the open floor. His speed, vision, and decision-making put constant pressure on transition defenses and allow him to create offense quickly. In the half court, Love has shown the ability to score at all three levels thanks to his smooth shooting stroke, strong feel for the game, and high basketball IQ. With the way he impacts winning and controls the game at the guard position, he is a player college coaches should have firmly on their radar heading into the July live periods.
