I say Love could easily become a poor man's Barkley - worse scorer and better rebounder. I wouldn't be surprised to see 18pts, 13reb a game from Love in the very near future. I wouldn't be displeased with that. I'd call Barkley a ceiling for Love and would be very pleased if he became as efficient on the offensive end as Barkley was.</p>
