Justin Love
Position: Shooting Guard
College: St. Louis
Conference: Conference USA
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 210
Age: 21
Birthdate: 11/06/78
High School: Sacred Heart, San Francisco, Calif.

Love has good size, at 210 pounds, but if he were only three inches taller. That would have added considerably to his bank account. A 6-2 shooting guard is a little on the small side in today's NBA, but Love is an aggressive scorer who does his job effectively (he shot .425 from 3-point range and .821 from the free-throw line as a senior). He also averaged 18.2 points, tops on his team and second in Conference USA. He was MVP of the C-USA Tournament and a first-team all-league pick. Love made the six-man all-tournament team at the Desert Classic, the NBA's second pre-draft camp.
