Love definitely has a ways to go with his conditioning, but he’s a dedicated guy and I don’t think it’s going to be a problem for very long. I think we get too obsessed with athleticism at times and overlook the obscenely high skill level that Love shows. He’ll step in and right away be one of the most skilled big men in the whole league. He can face up, he can shoot from deep, he can post up, and he’s a rebounding machine. The only concern with him is defensively. He’s not going to have an impact protecting the rim, and that’s a concern playing with Al Jefferson.

Don’t get me wrong, Rose has a ton of talent and he’s really, really athletic. I think he was the second-best prospect in the draft. However, I think people are really overhyping him, calling him a sure-fire All-Star.

It’s not secret, but I’m really rooting for Love to make the critics eat their words. Those guys saw the poor chubby white boy and made their call on his future without watching a second of him actually playing.

I called Derrick Rose overhyped from the start, and he hasn’t falied to deliever.

I wonder how Chalmers will do in the pros…he sure did look good in summer league.
