Love is a strong, physical guard who imposed his will against smaller defenders routinely on Saturday afternoon. He’s able to bully his way to the rim against smaller defenders, and has the quick burst first step to blow by slower-footed defenders. He’s an explosive athlete who finishes above the rim with authority, a good on-ball defender who moves his feet well, and he’s strong in the mid-range. As he continues to develop his jumper, he could be a sleeper prospect to watch in Illinois’ 2027 class.
