Loving’s was electric with the ball in his hands. His elite first step and twitchy movements gave defenders fits, keeping them off balance from the moment he initiated his dribble. His burst in and out of tight crossovers and between-the-legs combos was next-level, allowing him to create space on command. His dribble package was sharp, reactive, and tight, operating low to the ground and exploding out of his moves with zero wasted motion. He was a blur in space and thrived breaking down defenders.

Although he was one of the shorter prospects in attendance he was more than capable of getting to his spots, creating separation and angles to attack along with the elevation and arc to fire over the top of the defense in the mid-range. Lovings proved to be a super quick and fast lefty who could eat a defender alive with his two-dribble pull-up and first step off the dribble. This kid touched the paint at a high rate and once was at the rack you could count on him to complete the play with one of his many crafty lay-ins.
