During Kevin Love's first two years in the NBA I thought he was nothing more than a 10pts/10rebs a night type of guy. Not that is bad, but I didn't think he would turn into the player he is now.
During the 2010-2011 season Kevin Love took the NBA by storm leading the NBA in rebounding (15.2/game) and averaged 20.2 ppg. He shows the following year that it was no fluke as he averaged 26 ppg and 13.3 rebs. Leading him to make the All-Star team each of the last two years, and NBA Most Improved Player in 2011.
The Timberwolves looked like they might even break into the playoff this year before Ricky Rubio went down (5-21 after Rubio was lost for the season), but if Rubio can stay healthy the combo of him and Love will make for great building blocks and one of the better big men/PG combos in the league.
I really hope the Timberwolves somehow mess up his contract situation in the coming years and he becomes a Celtic.
