veteran Cal Poly guard with utility-man value and steady floor game
Maliik Love has been a versatile backcourt piece for Cal Poly, known for his strength, multi-position perimeter defense, and ability to steady an offense as a passer and connector. In his Cal Poly career, he averaged 4.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game, and one Cal Poly preview described him as a strong 6-2 guard who could be deployed at the 1, 2, or 3—a classic “utility man” fit. He’s the kind of player a coach can trust for toughness, ball security, and glue-guy minutes rather than empty-stat fireworks.
