Kevin Love goes on a donut run for his teammates as part of his rookie duties (WCCO video).
“No, I’m just playing, man,” he said. “I’m feeling good, that’s all.”
McHale wasn’t so sure.

Randy Wittman: It feels good. I hate it because I’m not very good watcher with my background in coaching. I’d much rather coach than sit in the stands.

Kevin McHale said he “really liked” Granger in that draft and considered him a unique player, but said he was warned off by doctors who “red-flagged” a knee injury that ended Granger’s final season at New Mexico.
Funny, but doctors’ warning helped scared McHale off both Granger and Brandon Roy and yet the Wolves had three first-round picks in a row — McCants, Randy Foye, now Corey Brewer — who all missed a good chunk of a season with a knee injury.
