Cleveland Cavaliers: 3 Goals for Kevin Love in 2018-19

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

Kevin Love Must Average at Least 22 Points Per Game

LeBron James needed more help last season and the Cavaliers did not make any major offseason additions. That does not bode well for the team on the offensive end of the court. Love will need to be the No. 1 scorer and averaging at least 22 points per game is a reasonable goal for him.

Back in his prime with the Timberwolves, Love showed that he is more than capable of averaging over 22 points per game in the right situation. He averaged 26.0 points per game in the 2011-12 season and also averaged 26.1 points in 2013-14.

Getting back to a 26-point average simply isn’t going to happen. His days in Minnesota were amazing, but he is not the same player anymore. Love is more of a perimeter threat than he was back in and he will need to polish up his post game as well before getting anywhere close to that level.

Cleveland will likely put the ball in Love’s hands early and often this season. If he can average around 22 points per game, the Cavaliers will be in good shape to take one of the Eastern Conference playoff spots.
