Jon Mladic/Hoopsworld lists Kevin Love at #4 on his list of the top ten rookies of 2008. 
Love joins Al Harrington to form a big front court for the Timberwolves. Simply adding his size and talent in the paint will undoubtedly improve the team’s rebounding and defense. Don’t blame fans in Minnesota, though, for hoping he produces on the offensive end too. This team needs all the scoring they can get, and getting the ball inside for easier points seems like it would be the first step. 
 
 
Other new big men the US likely will consider for the next Olympics
include Greg Oden, Andrew Bynum, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Love, the
Celtics’ Kendrick Perkins, and more. And considering Kaman’s age (26),
he thought it was better to play for Germany now rather than roll the
dice with the Americans.
