Shortly after the Philadelphia 76ers reportedly agreed to a two-way contract with Rayan Rupert, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that they’ve come to terms on a two-way deal for Caleb Love.
Like Rupert and new Sixers guard Anfernee Simons, Love is a former Trail Blazer. He played in 49 NBA games for Portland last season as a rookie and averaged 10.4 points, 2.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per contest. Love learned from Damian Lillard and impressed his mentor.
He played in many high-profile games over five college seasons — three at North Carolina, two at Arizona. The 6-foot-3 Love is a confident scorer who posted at least 20 points on eight occasions last year. Love certainly has room to improve in the efficiency department; he shot 38.8 percent from the floor, 31.8 percent from three-point range and 73.5 percent at the foul line.
