If Kahn wants a fast pace team, Kevin Love is the perfect Center for the job...yes, Kevin Love a Center...

Play Love and Anthony Randolph at center... when Randolph comes in, Love moves down to PF...

5.Love/Randolph/Darko
4.Williams/Love
3.Beasly/Williams/Johnson
2.Johnson/Ellington
1.Rubio/Luke

So basicly, Darko's role time will be dropped fast, unless Minni stratagises and uses Darko against BIG teams...aka LAL, Dallas...

I believe this team has potential to make a run...

not to hate, but I don't think Love should be moved from PF. He produces there, I like him there. He dosen't defend at the C. Either way I'm on the Darko bandwagon for ONE MORE YEAR!
I think he's going to come into training camp and just wow everybody and finally become the player we always expected. Dunking, shooting, driving, passing, defending, the whole enchillada.

Next to Love's continued brilliance, that would be awesome :D

Actually, I think it's been shown on here before that Love actually defends the C spot better than the PF spot, it's only against a select few centers (D12, etc) that he really struggles with.

Love defends and produces better at the 5. He struggles more with the quicker 4 then the strong/big 5. The same skills that make him an elite rebounder allow him to fit for position.

I think he should be 50/50 split, not a full time center. I personally hate positions and think it should all be about who you can defend.

That's the thing, Love can't defend.. but just put him on who he can defend better I get it, I kinda look at it as we have wings, and posts.
