GM Kevin McHale really loved Kevin Love but he figured that it made better sense to take the consensus #3 pick and then make a deal. That thinking netted the Timberwolves both Kevin Love and Mike Miller in a blockbuster trade after the draft last night. Love was dominating in his freshman year at UCLA and it’s scary to think that he’s only 19 years old. The 6′10″, 255 pound Love will get a chance to compete for the starting job at power forward with the idea that Al Jefferson can shift to center full time. Love played in 39 games (38 starts) for UCLA last season and he averaged 17.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.4 blocked shots per game. The thinking here is that Love will be a good NBA player and that the Wolves made a great trade with Memphis.
