While Love finished Saturday’s defeat with a solid point total, this was not one of the rookie’s best efforts. He did not provide much value outside of points and three-pointers, and the undrafted rookie was inefficient as a scorer and playmaker. Love is on a two-way deal for the 2025-26 season, and becoming more consistent as a floor general will be critical for the former Arizona standout as he looks to solidify his place in the NBA.

Having begun his college career at North Carolina, Love played his final two seasons at Arizona. In his first and only season in the Big 12, the 6-foot-4 guard averaged 17.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per game. Shooting 39.8 percent from the field and 88.9 percent from the foul line, Love never shied away from the big moment, but the shot selection and efficiency left something to be desired at times. That said, his turnover average decreased in each of his five seasons. Love will likely spend more time with the Rip City Remix, but he is a fun scoring option that is worth taking a chance on for Portland.
