Power Forward: Kevin Love vs. Brandon Bass

Love’s season has been a roller coaster of reactions, mostly by the media that seems focused on seeing the veteran in a different uniform next season. Amid all this havoc, Love has averaged 16.4 points, as well as 9.7 rebounds per game, and he closed out the regular season by connecting on five of his six three-point attempts.

Bass is averaging 10.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per contest, which is right around his average during his four years with the Celtics. Unlike Love, Bass doesn’t put up a large of number of shots during the game. Plus, more than a third of his shots come in or near the paint, which might be difficult with Mozgov hovering around.
