Kevin Love (Age: 25)
Games missed last two seasons
75, primarily because of that right shooting hand he broke twice last year.
What he is
A unique player, the likes of which the NBA previously hadn't seen: Old-fashioned rebounder with a shooting guard's three-point range. One of the game's toughest matchups and a fantasy-league delight.
What he isn't
A superior athlete or low-post player who can't — at least not yet — consistently create his own shot when the game's on the line.
The quote
"Creating your own shot on offense for young players, that's probably the hardest thing to do unless you're as gifted as Kobe and LeBron at such a young age." — Hall of Famer Reggie Miller, now a TNT analyst who knew something about creating his own shot when he played.
