Caleb Love

[Naterade]

I'm predicting Caleb Love to have a BIG game against Texas Tech. Obviously he's not playing great as of late, but he's not as bad as people are making him out to be. Everything he does is amplified good or bad because of who he is. His attitude and effort have been great. his shot is gonna fall early and often at Texas Tech.

I really hope you're right. Love doesn't let missed shots affect his confidence, which is both good and bad.

He missed 6+ field goals in EVERY game this season, except one (missed 5 against Samford).

I'd be ecstatic if he became a distributor first because we're unstoppable when he's looking to pass first. It's an unrealistic request but NBA scouts really want to view him as a point guard, not an undersized shooter.

He plays with heart and loves our program so it's hard to hate the kid. It's just frustrating to watch an excessive amount of shots miss.

 Go score 25 by getting to the bucket and drawing contact on Saturday, Caleb!

I wish caleb love  would  start  out by taking it too the rim, before shooting the 3 pointers. In my opinion he shoots way too many of them, an he is a streaky 3 shooter, there is
Nodought we need him to be good, I just wish he would shoot less 3 pointers unless he was wide open.

Unfortunately for Caleb, when he drives to the rim and gets fouled, he doesn't get the whistle. Idk what he's supposed to do if he's getting punished for doing the right thing.

Love is at his best when he is playing 3rd or 4th option. He can chuck as many shots as he wants in the first 5 minutes and make them all if he is lucky and it still won't change the fact he needs to get out of the way of Bradley, Henri and Carter Bryant. KJ Lewis figured this out a while ago.

Yes, he is supposed to continue and say to the ref Thank You Sir May I Have Another Missed Call.

That is how it goes when you are not Elite. You need to "earn" the right to get to the line 8 to 10 times per game. Chucking 3's as a M.O. is not how to get refs to respect you.

Last game was an ugly performance for Caleb, specifically in the paint.

Typically, he does a good job of drawing contact but he doesn't attack nearly often enough.

Refs stopped the whole "James Harden/Luka" thing a while ago. Forcibly drawing contact is not going to land much profit. It is better to just take the best shot you can.

Absolutely.  Although Love is historically good at making his buckets when he attacks the rim.  The "and one" is just a bonus if he can draw contact.  Regardless, anything seems to be more productive than throwing up errant threes.

Unless your John Tonje vs Arizona.
