Love averages 21.1 ppg 15.5 rpg and shoots 47% (the same as Kevin Durant). Those are far from overrated numbers especially with no real backcourt at the moment. And he's the nephew of one of the Beach Boys! you just can't write that off.
I wasn't really saying that to prove he was overrated, just found that funny, lol. And yes, Kevin Martin is overrated as well.
I think he's overrated because when I watch him play, I don't get that "feel" I do from other superstar players in that he can take a team, and put it on his back. I think it is sort of like Kevin Martin, in that offensively he can't be completely relied on as a guy you can dump it down to, and expect him to score. He's a terrific rebounder, putting all time level numbers in that regard, and couple that with his unique offensive game, and ridiculous three point %, he's definitely an all-star caliber player in this league, but NOT a superstar. He can definitely improve on that leadership, defense, and offensive "dominance," but those are generally hard qualities to develop, but not unheard of.
