Kevin Love will have a significantly bigger role in the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense in his second season.

Love's production fell from 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds in 2013-14 with the Minnesota Timberwolves to 16.4 and 9.7 last season.

"We'll use Kevin however he wants to be used," LeBron James said after Love led Cleveland with 17 points and 13 rebounds in the Cavs' 106-76 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. "I told you Kevin is going to be our main focus. He's going to have a hell of a season. He's going to get back to that All-Star status."

Love is averaging 17.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in the Cavaliers' first two games.

"He's the focal point of us offensively," James said. "I know I can go out and get mine when I need it. But I need Kev to be as aggressive as he was tonight, and when he rebounds at the level he did tonight, the shots will automatically fall for him."

"I knew he'd be sharp when I had my conversation with him in Los Angeles in the offseason," James said.

Love was asked what James conveyed to him during their meeting in the offseason.

"Just that I can do more," Love said. "I think that he knew that. Since then I think everybody has really stepped up and asked what they can do in their respective roles. From a comfort standpoint, I just feel a lot, a lot better."
