You were doing good until this part, there I stopped reading. Have you at least tried to check both players mid range stats and shot locations before posting this? I would say no...

Here is a nice tip as you proved to be a casual fan who desperately needs this

http://hoopdata.com/shotstats.aspx , check 16-23 feet made shoots. Surprise!! Aldridge ranks 4th in the entire nba and Love isn't even on the list

I still don't see the greatness in Love. I know he's one of the top PF's and a sick rebounder with a nice perimeter shot but he's not that athletic, doesn't have a good post game, and doesn't defend well. A low to Mid 80 seems reasonable but then again they made Iggy an 87 lol so idk. The roster editing awaits...

Huh? No post game? No mid range? You seriously haven't watched Kevin Love much -- you do know he pulls 3s and hits them, right? You know one of his favorite things is to pump fake you from mid range (because you know, guys have to respect it) and dive into the lane, right? Athleticism doesn't matter if you can get your job done. I won't say he's a good defender, you're right but he's better than Dirk.

He scores better than Dirk or Aldridge. He rebounds better than Dirk or Aldridge. Has the same range -- not as good as Dirk but that wouldn't make Dirk better. I also think he has better passing ability than them too. Annndddd he's only 23 years old

When the seasons starts, I bet Ellis' rating will drop at least 3 points. I really can't say anything about Davis though, he rolled with Team USA so he has to be at least worth a 78-9.

And honestly, until we get some more PF ratings, I can't really assess whether Love's rating makes sense.

Actually Twolves are one of the teams that I watch the most, with the other teams being the Blazers and the Celtics, I watch almost every game for those 3 teams since 2 years, and Love mid range and post game aren't even close to Aldridge's same as Aldridge's rebounding isn't even close to Love's , there is no possible discussion about that. He scores MORE than Aldridge, but better? that's debatable , 22 ppg with 51% against 26 with 45%, I don't see a big difference. Aldridge scores better and more efficiently from everywhere in the court besides 3pt and ft line , that's a fact and I have stats to prove it

Maybe you haven't watched the blazers since years?

[Phreezy P]

Don't know why anyone is comparing Love to Aldridge when Aldridge's rating didn't even come out yet.

Because **** logic.

I completely, wholeheartedly disagree. And i'm one of 'those' who grew up watching Pippen and the Bulls and now have to put up with the media oversaturation of stars who, quite frankly, aren't doing anything different to those who came before them.

Lebron? (And this will surely get people's backs up) A big man thundering down the court at break neck speed slamming it over all and sundry? Yeah, seen it before. Charles Barkley Springs to mind. Shawn Kemp also.

Lebron? Big man setting up the offense? Yep. Seen it before. Nothing new here. Magic Johnson anyone?

Someone who can throw all those skills together? Scottie pippen.

I think Pip deserves the 92 rating, he brought everything to the table, no less than LBJ - who, I might add, does not deserve a 99 rating. That should be for MJ only. Bron should level out at 96 or so in my eyes.

No one complaining about Ellis? He was an 84 last year coming off arguably his best year, he's now an 86 coming off his worst year. What's up with the ratings?
