If Kevin Love Were Black....

[JBoogs37]

...he'd get cracked on for being such an average athlete...lol

[moocow007]

Would he be a top-10 lock at any point he decided to declare?

17/11/2, 58% from the floor, 75% from the line, in 29 mpg as a freshman. Those are beastly numbers.

I don't think so. I think if he was more athletic he'd be a top-10 lock. There are times I think that the skin color does influence opinions but in Love's case I really do believe he's an exception and that there are plenty of people that love his skills but just wonder if he is athletic enough to be worth a lottery pick. No question of skills being elite.

Reggie Evens, yikes that seems pretty lowball Evens has no touch around the basket, heck the only touch he's ever had involved poor Kamen.

brook lopez isnt white

I cant believe the David Lee comparison hasnt been used.... seems like a David Lee type career awaits as well.

[fugop]

David Lee won a dunk contest when he was Love's age. The two players are completely different.

this is true, I believe he won the All-American dunk contest. The person who compared him to David Lee also kind of proved the OP's point, so nice job comparing him to another white player who is nothing like him.

No offense but OP doesn't really have a point.

BJ Mullens and Brook Lopez.

Lopez isn't white? He sure isn't black!

Does anyone think Love has any similarity to a better rebounding Scola?

If he were black maybe he'd be more athletic.

What the hell is the pope doing in England?

I think he's the Archbishop in disguise

[sh00n]

I think he's going to be a solid player if he gets to the right situation where he sees floor time. If he ends up seeing more bench than floor I could see him ended up as a Kris Humphries type player with longer range. He has insane hands and a really nice jumper for a guy his size.

[corwin]

The kid can also body up his man on defense, has a nice low post game, a great outlet pass, good court vision & a high basketball IQ. Love is a solid prospect. His height will make the difference IMO on where he is drafted. If 6'8" or so, he'll drop. He did look a solid 6'9" or more when standing next to Brook Lopez last night. If he's that tall & if he's on the board when Philly picks, he's the guy I want.

Scola is more athletic

[Chi Dynasty12]

haha i love this post. I actually think he would be higher up lol I don't know why, but he would just look better

[Bob Ortegal]

I'll be honest, if there were two players and they were exactly the same except one was white and the other was black then I'd be more inclined to take the black one. Haha don't ask me why but that's just the way it is.

This is similar to my thoughts on picking a president only the races are reversed

[CB4MiamiHeat]

this thread is bizarre..since when does being black benefit over being white...Larry Bird and the Pacers will jump all over Kevin Love(or Hansbrough) if theyre available.
