The scoring ability is indeed good, but the offensive options of the Blazers rookie backcourt are also terrible, right?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Utah Jazz narrowly defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 132-129 after a hard-fought battle. After this game, the Jazz achieved their first victory in the preseason. Their record in the preseason was locked at 1 win and 3 losses, while the Trail Blazers' record in the preseason was also locked at 1 win and 3 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Trail Blazers' rookie backup backcourt player Caleb Love was both loved and hated. Love played for 21 minutes and 26 seconds, shooting 6 of 12 from the field, 3 of 9 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 1 turnover and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus of -6. On the one hand, Love did show good scoring ability in the game. He also has a wealth of offensive methods. He has a certain breakthrough ability, and he can also create threats through outside shooting. But on the other hand, he also has obvious problems in offensive selection. He plays blindly at critical moments. He has huge problems in golf intelligence and game reading ability. As a backcourt player, Love has almost no passing ability or organizational skills, and his performance on the defensive end is also quite average. Love does have good scoring ability, but other than that, his performance in other aspects seems to lack basic highlights.

Love was born in September 2001. He is 24 years old, 193cm tall and 93kg in weight. He is the undrafted pick in this year's NBA draft. In the NCAA last season, Love played a total of 37 games on behalf of the University of Arizona, averaging 34.1 minutes per game, 17.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.3 blocks per game, 1.9 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. He shot 39.8% from the field, 34% from the three-point range, and 88.9% from the free throw line. In the previous NBA Summer League, Love played a total of 5 times for the Trail Blazers, averaging 26.8 minutes per game. He averaged 15.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 1.8 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 35.1% from the field, 33.3% from the three-point range, and 72.2% from the free throw line. During the preseason, Love played a total of 4 times, averaging 17.9 minutes per game. He averaged 12.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 0.5 steals per game. He also had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 41.9% from the field, 29.6% from the three-point range, and 63.6% from the free throw line.

Whether it is in the NCAA, the NBA Summer League or the preseason, Love's performance is basically the same. He has good scoring explosive power, but his data is basically based on holding a lot of the ball. His offensive efficiency is actually not ideal. His problems in offensive selection are visible to the naked eye, and his stability in state is also seriously insufficient. If Love cannot change his style of play, he will not be able to produce ideal data in the more competitive NBA regular season, and he will have to spend some time in the NBA Development League in a short period of time.
