I am not sure about that. Andy was not taking a whole lot of shots, and TT is a decent rebounder too. The reason Love's rebounds are down are because of two reasons. Lebron (and others) are great rebounders for the position, so its not just the center, and we have been using Love to space more than in Minny, so he isn't under the rim quite as much.
Not as much as you would think. 37.5% of his shots this year are coming from three point range. Last year, 35.5 percent of his shots came from beyond the arc. He is also shooting less three pointers per game this season.
It's not that the Cavs are using him a whole lot more to space the floor, it's that he is just not getting as many options in general with there being other legitimate scoring options on the floor.
Andy was taking an average of 7.7 shots per game, which is the third highest average of his career and the highest average as a teammate of LeBron's. Love should certainly see, at minimum, 2-3 more shot attempts per game in Andy's absence, if not more.
