That's 2010-11 All-NBDL Team Member Joe Alexander buddy.
He's been playing for Maccabi because he counts as an Israeli or whatever. Finally added a consistent three point shot at age 29, he still didn't have one in the D-League a few years ago. It was probably the one skill he needed to keep getting chances with his nuts athleticism. Ryan Anderson was taken 13 picks later and he's going to have made over $100 million. Joe should have tried to make himself into the poor man's version of that, like Jason Kapono and Luke Babbit have taken shots at being the poor man's Kyle Korver for a while.

That was the thing though, despite having the highest body fat % of any drafted player (and admitting he was out of shape) he matched Beasley in all the drills and both destroyed JaVale McGee not to mention basically every other big that wasn't Joe Alexander. He also had put up huge stats at a major program. Love's not unathletic at all, especially for basketball.
Actually looking at the results, it looks like Westbrook might have dogged it during the combine lol
And apparently Westbrook was 5-8 and 140lbs as a Freshman in HS. So remember fellow NLSCers, when life gets you down, suddenly at any point, you too could become the only person other than the Big O to average a triple double. Without literally any work I assume.
