Kevin Love will run as a starting center at the Cleveland Cavaliers next season.He has now explained to ESPN how he learned about it.
“I knew before the training camp that there was a chance I’d play more on the five, but we hadn’t talked about it formally,”said Love,”but something funny happened on the third day of practice.I had a question about a certain defensive play and coverage.Then LeBron[James] interrupted me and said:’ You know, you’re going to start on the five, right?’ I was just looking at him and didn’t quite understand it.It’s only after time has leaked out on me.”
In recent years, Tristan Thompson and Timofey Mozgov had been the starting centers of the Cavaliers.However, since the runners-up in the coming season, Derrick Rose and Dwyane Wade, will launch two below-average shooters in the backcourt, Love is to provide more danger from outside on the five.Until now, he had always been a Power Forward in Cleveland.
With the Cavaliers there is a lot of change due to the many new additions.Accordingly, the team has been weak so far in the pre-season, losing all four games so far,”Of course, we’ll improve over the course of the season,” coach Tyronn Lue said after the Chicago bankruptcy,”but we should definitely be better than we are today.
Love, who only met one of his twelve litters on Tuesday, agreed with his coach:”You can’t reinterpret too much, it’s preseason.There’s been a lot of mistakes.It was ugly to look at, but it’ll be all right.We just have to clean up a little bit.As long as we play hard, good things will happen,”said the Neu-Center.
