About 20 years ago, as a new person in the UCLA, Kevin Love was seen as a unique talent due to his ability to pass and aggressive versatility, but five-time NBA All-Star said that “Unicorn’s” is a new crop that is more advanced than his generation players.
“Now, you are receiving these people who are 6-8 plus, 6–10, 7 feet tall, actually doing everything on the floor,” Love told ESPN on Wednesday. “And I think it is difficult to guards just incredibly and it is taking the game to a really amazing place, because you are looking at these people who are unicorn from there, people who are really doing everything and are refining their skills, while in the past they could not work on these things.
“Development within the game, it is really amazing to see where it has gone, especially in skill and development of the player at the age of earlier.”
Love pointed to Duke’s Cooper Flag, an estimated number 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, and the cam bozer, the five -star recruitment which will follow the flag with blue devils as the staple of the next recruitment class of John Sheer, as an example.
Love, who, surprised Buzer with his second Getorade National Player of the Year Award this week, stated that two young stars – and other players like him – would enter the next stage of their career with a skill set with a skill set who were ever foreigners to players in their positions.
“, I mean, he will hold the ball from the backboard, take it down all the way and, if no one stops him from putting it in the rim, he will pull, he will reach that next position,” Love said about the booster. “He will work with midpost. He is handling the ball. He is passing the ball and involving his companions.
“It is actually made, as I said, statusless basketball, and people are really able to do everything there on the floor. You didn’t just see that when I first came to the league.”
Flag will carry forward his shot in history as 1-seed Duke played 4-seed Arizona in The Sweet 16 on Thursday night. Only three new people in the college basketball history – Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and Seon Williamson – have won the Wooden Award. Only five new people have been named the most outstanding player in the NCAA tournament.
The final departure of the flag for the NBA will determine the platform for the top ranked recruitment category of the share, which will be anchored by Bujar and his twins, Keden Buzers (number 16 in 2025 ESPN11). Like the flag, Bizzar is a multidimensional 6-foot-9 standout capable of affecting the game in different ways.
“What Duke has done to the players in my position over the years,” Buszer told ESPN before closing the names of Paolo Banchero, Seon Williamson, Jason Tatam and Brandon Ingram. “They are four people who are all stars and some superstars or future superstars.
“I think, in general, what do the Duke culture, in general what they do with winning and creating a deep tournament – this’s something I am able to do here (in high school). So I think I think I am going to the next level, continue it and developing as a player. I want to be at the next level, where (love) was a big part for me.”
