I am not here to debate poor shot selections, I am here to make a case that Love's legacy may be on the line with Bacot and Nance out.
Caleb's freshmen year, we as die hard fans knew it wasn't a great year, but as a fresh we knew Caleb had at least the ability to control a game when he scores and is getting steals. Caleb's sophomore year he still had games we thought he could play better, but we discovered he has a clutch gene or the want to make a play at the end of games. During the tournament he had very few games he put together two good half's, but his ability to score in bunches was on display.
Now we reach a point in the season that maybe we were on the cusp of getting our swagger back, we are hit with a major piece in Bacot being out.
I contend that Caleb's UNC career legacy is on the line right now. Real UNC fans have been very patient as Caleb has been ragged about his play this year. It would be a nice time to see Love's game as Bacot is out, if not he definitely will be hurting his NBA stock. He can't hide he is a streaky scorer, he can show is a winner right now. I know Jimmy Butler plays better defense, but that is who I compare Love to, and Jimmy buckets gives it to cats when he needs to step up. Caleb time, just hope he is ready!
