Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love has been the subject of scrutiny during his two seasons in Cleveland, but when compared to other power forwards in the league, it is hard to find many better at the position.
Here are three reasons why Love deserves to be named an All-Star reserve when the players are announced Thursday night.
Love averages 16 points per game, which is third in the Eastern Conference among power forwards, behind Chris Bosh (19.2 ppg) and Paul Millsap (18.3 ppg). Keep in mind that those two players are leading their teams in scoring and are not competing for points with someone like LeBron James, who is averaging 25 points per game.
