Matt Watson/Fanhouse talked to Kevin Love after Saturday’s game.
MW: What do you expect to do for the rest of the summer?
KL: Stay in shape. I’m going to try to come into training camp the best shape that I possibly can, [try] to stay injury-free and try to help this team as best I can. I need to definitely work on defense, like I keep mentioning, get tapes, keep working with Kevin McHale and just learning different things about the game that I need to improve on.
Yannis Koutroupis/Hoopsworld gives Kevin Love an "A" for his summer league performance.
Reports that Kevin Love got in the best shape of his life leading up to the NBA Draft were definitely not false. The hard work that Love put in after the end of his college season continued to pay off as he was one of the best player at Las Vegas. Love treated every rebound like it was his and would let nothing get in his way. Offensively he was extremely impressive as well, but it will be his work on the glass that is really important alongside Al Jefferson. Jefferson can provide the points, but what the Wolves really need is consistent rebounding, and it appears they got it in Kevin Love.
