Caleb Love Compared to Former NBA Sixth Man of the Year Amid Rookie Breakout
Portland Trail Blazers rookie guard Caleb Love has emerged in Rip City this season after spending five years in College Basketball on the North Carolina Tar Heewww.si.com
I didn't realize that Love weighed in at 212 lbs (6'9" wing span). Personally, I think he has better PG skills than Eric Gordon (who they compare him to in size)
"Assuming Love averages out somewhere between the two poles of this season’s performance, he’ll still be a useful rotation player. He is a dead ringer basketball-wise for Eric Gordon: They’re almost identical in their burly builds, right down to the massive wingspan relative to their 6-foot-3 frames. Gordon was far more explosive at his athletic peak, but Love has the more natural comportment as a shooter, both off movement and off the dribble. The bulk of Gordon’s 19-year career has been built on his reliability as a high-volume shooter who can serve as a secondary or tertiary creator in a pinch while holding his ground on defense. Love has already shattered expectations for his NBA career; even if this blistering run peters out, he has a perfect blueprint for longevity."
