Scott Howard-Cooper/Sacramento Bee on Kevin Love:
"I think Love could end up at No. 3," said the general manager of one
lottery team. "I’m hearing a lot of Love because he has his weight and
conditioning under control."
lottery team. "I’m hearing a lot of Love because he has his weight and
conditioning under control."
Another personnel boss agreed, and two others said that was too high
for a power forward with poor athleticism who will have trouble against
the increasing number of talented big players. Yet another, when asked
if he would be surprised if Love went third to the Timberwolves, said,
"Three probably would surprise me. Anything after that wouldn’t."

Jason Fleming/Hoopsworld on the team’s draft day needs:
At number three the Wolves will not get Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley, so what’s the best choice? Should they take a scorer, like O.J. Mayo? A lead guard, like Jerryd Bayless? Or a big man, like Brook Lopez or Kevin Love? Rumor has it they are hot for Love (yikes…hot for Love? Really?) and Lopez will be in town this weekend for a workout. Bayless probably isn’t a good fit with Randy Foye since both play about the same position, unless the Wolves become inclined to move Foye.
Likely this choice will come down to if they like Lopez or Love better, then the decision to go big with that choice or go small and take Mayo.
