[QUOTE=wang4three]You're probably looking at a smaller but better version of Brad Miller.[/QUOTE]
This is probably the closest comparison.
A smaller Brad Miller with a lot of hustle. The guy really knows how to throw his body around to get after the boards.

Now there are a few qualifiers here, it's Total Rebounding percentage from the 73-74 season until now because that's when offensive rebounds began to be counted (any TR% before that is slightly suspect just because the raw numbers are somewhat unknown). Also it's for players that played at least 24 minutes a game and also only of first year players (although in the end this only really knocks out Charles Oakley's rookie season).
[QUOTE=bdreason]Great rebounder with a robust offensive skill set he still hasn't learned to utuilize at the NBA level.
He's undersized, especially at the C spot, so he struggles covering skilled offensive big men. He also doesn't have the best lateral movement, so he struggles to contain quick SF's and PF's.
We definatley haven't seen the best of Kevin Love yet. his defense can improve over time, especially if he puts in the work to become a "crafty vet", which I think he will. I'de also like to see him extend his range on the court. He has a nice stroke, and I'de like to see him extend the defense ala Mehmet Okur.[/QUOTE]
Except if he did that he wouldn't get nearly so many rebounds, the reason he rebounds so well is that he parks his fat ass in the paint every time up the floor, it's a wonder how he doesn't get called for more 3 seconds.

wow a PF that plays in the paint:eek: kick him out of the league. that is what a PF/C is supposed to do you retard.
had to bump this so people realize that K. love is the real vanilla bean/white chocolate

But this guy was saying that he should shoot more 3's and stretch the floor, that was my point, not that he shouldn't play in the paint dumbass.
He's a bad defender but he's a terrific rebounder.
Someone drafted him (ie- in trade) and now is coaching him.
When Mchale leaves as coach and 3 years from now Love is generating 12/15 he'll have been groomed as Mchale jr.
Which isn't so bad , :D

thats true. if there is one thing Mchale is good at it is getting the most out of big guys
k love baby:pimp:
In his prime getting 35 minutes per game I couldn't see him doing more than 19/12/1 shooting 53%. Currently he's getting 24MPG and getting 9 rebs per game.
[QUOTE=SilentObserver]Nice joke, dude is averaging about 9 rebounds [B]in his first year, in 24 minutes.[/B]
His peak 12 rebounds? Give me a break...[/QUOTE]
Players generally don't improve that much as rebounders. 12 rebounds a game this year would put Love as the 2nd best in the league. I don't see whatsso bad with projecting him at 12 a game.
What could I get for Love in fantasy? I'm trying to sell him high lol
:hammertime:

:no: you should be ashamed of yourself trying to get rid of love
I thought that was the absolute dumbest trade in the darft I have seen recently. I don't give a rats ass what people think you don't trade O.J. Mayo for no freakin Kevin Love. I think that 18ppg from Mayo would have helped Minnesota out alot more this year than anything Love has givin Minnesota at this point. You team Mayo along with Jefferson two young studs who you could build around and all of a sudden Minnesota has a very bright future. 5 years from now that trade is going to make Minnesota look awfully bad I see a brighter future in Memphis than I do in Minnesota what a bad trade.

its not nearly as bad as you think. we also got mike miller in the deal who is a very solid all around type of player. Love will also be a constant double double machine while i doubt mayo will ever even average a double double for the season (yes i know he plays a different position). also why is it that memphis ended up with the same record as us with a lot more talent?
