400th Steal

While Love is often criticized for his defense, it doesn’t mean he can’t get a milestone in that department. As of now, Love has 351 steals and a career average of 0.7 per game. If he were to get that number over his career average of 64.5 games, he could wind up at 396, just shy of the 400 mark.

Fortunately for Love, he both averaged slightly more steals (0.8) and played more games with the Cavs last year. If he were to either get his career average 0.7 steals over the 77 games he played last year or get his 2015-2016 average of 0.8 steals over his career average 64.5, Love can grab his 400th steal.
