I do not watch a great deal of NCAA basketball outside of March Madness, so admittedly my opinion is not based upon a great deal of observation.

But when I did watch Love play, the things he did well at the NCAA level didn't look to me like they would translate. He seemed to overpower weaker opponents, I don't see him doing that in the NBA. I did not see the quickness and defense that is needed in the NBA.

I am especially concerned because I have seen some mock drafts of him going to the Warriors who do need a low post presence, but he does not look like that guy to me.

I think if he is a 10-12 minute backup on a team like Utah, that would make the most sense.
