When the Wolves were finally able to announce the trade that sent Kevin Love to the Cavaliers, two of the three pieces they received in return were easy to categorize.

Andrew Wiggins, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, was the clear jewel of the trade. Thaddeus Young came over to fill Love's position and provide leadership.

The third piece was Anthony Bennett. The only thing you could say about him was that he was an intriguing wild card. The intrigue has grown through a very nice preseason, and Bennett has shown he could make the Love trade look even better.

progress Austin Davis looked lost in Week 1 vs. the Vikings as the Rams' fill-in QB. Now Brett Favre is comparing him to Tom Brady and Kurt Warner.
