NBA: Ranking 30 best power forwards for 2019-20

If this feels incredibly low for a two-time All-NBA player with a championship ring, Kevin Love‘s situation has as much to do with this as his ability at this point.

Stuck with a rebuilding Cleveland Cavaliers club that is nowhere close to being on the same schedule as a player who will be 31 before training camp opens, Love is at a point in his career where questions about what he can actually provide are relevant.

Love missed 60 games last season after surgery on an injured toe and missed 45 games combined the previous two seasons due to injuries and players tend not to become more durable as they age into their 30s.

Left as the last man standing in Cleveland after Kyrie Irving was traded to the Boston Celtics in 2017 and LeBron James bolted for the Los Angeles Lakers last summer, Love put up counting numbers, but had one of his least-efficient seasons as a pro in the process.

Love averaged 17.0 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 27.2 minutes per game over 22 games last season, but shot just 38.5 percent overall and 36.1 percent on 6.7 3-point attempts (a career-high) per game.

That came after he his 41.5 percent of his deep tries in 2017-18, the second-best mark of his career. Still, he’s capable of nifty moves such as this one from last season.

Perhaps the most troubling trend was the way Love’s effectiveness in the restricted area vanished, where he went from making 66.1 percent of his attempts at the rim in 2017-18 to just 51.7 percent a season ago.

That was accompanied by a cratering percentage from mid-range, from 39.1 percent to 27.3 percent. Consider that mark was 43.5 percent in 2016-17 and it tells a story of a player in a steep decline.

Love may get a trade to a contender and become revitalized, but for right now he’s a highly paid (four years and $120.4 million as the extension he signed last summer kicks in) veteran on a team mostly made up of kids who need to develop.
