Markieff Morris vs. Kevin Love

This is an interesting, yet not so interesting matchup.

Markieff Morris is a solid all-around player. He can do a little bit of everything; shoot, rebound, defend, etc. The problem is, he isn’t necessarily exceptional at any one skill. If Morris has the upper hand over Love in anything, it’s defense and athleticism.

But despite his reputation for coming up small in big games, Kevin Love is still one of the better big men in today’s game. As the #3 option in Cleveland, Love posted 19.0 PPG and 11.1 RPG, while shooting 37.3% from three. He’s better than Keef as a scorer, shooter, rebounder, and passer.

It’s probably closer than the numbers show, but Love gets the nod here with relative ease.

ADVANTAGE: Kevin Love
