I don't follow the pros very closely and have no idea whether a player is 24-second worthy. On the other hand, I watch a few NBA games a year and am amazed at some of the players who have made nice careers in the 24-second league. Love has some skills and was one of the top players in college ball this year. I wouldn't write him off and I suspect that Howland was truthful with him. Now, I'm not sure that you can trust the NBA scouts to be forthright but it is not in their best interest to tick off Howland by lying to him about one of his best players.
