Love understands that he may need to sacrifice some of his excellent numbers in the name of winning, the Akron Beacon-Journal reports. He said, "I've watched guys like Wade and different players that have to sacrifice. I'd be lying to myself and everybody here if I was telling you I didn't have to sacrifice. … I'm willing to do whatever it takes for this team to win because at the end of the day, that's what we want, is to win."

Analysis:

Love has been a consistent presence in first rounds of early and mock drafts, but his new owners may be in for a rude shock. Love did average 20.2 points on 14.1 field goals in 2010-11 and he might see similar shot attempts with Cleveland. Perhaps improved shooting efficiency will offset his lost counting numbers.
