Why Doesn't coach K play Kevin Love more ?

I keep hearing how USA don't have a big men. Isn't Kevin Love one of the best rebounding big men in the NBA ?

    He should play Love more, I don't have a clue why he doesn't.

    I guess because just about everybody on the USA team is fast paced except Kevin Love, he doesn't run with the offense or defense. So the only thing he can be useful for is spot up shooting and rebounds but if he's not making shots or getting down court quick enough to protect the paint he's not really fitting into the system.

    Not the best matchup for him, plus it's still an exhibition game.

    Overall though Love will probably be used situationally throughout the Olympics.

    Because he is a big man who is not good at defense. They have plenty of shooters that are better so he is not needed on either end of the court with his bad D.
