I'm more surprised to see Eric Gordon at #22..
And as homerish as this sounds, I think Love has a shot at ROY. He'll get a lot of minutes and I think he'll be putting up consistent enough numbers to stay in the ROY running. Kind of like Horford did last season..

I agree. Teams don't draft the top pick because he'll be great year one, but because he'll have a great career. Love has an NBA-ready game (though he has plenty of room for improvement!). Moreover, like you said, he'll get lots of minutes right from the start. Other teams may want to bring their players along more slowly, but I don't see the Wolves doing that at all with Love.

^It's based on potential, and for this year only (considering each player's team and circumstances.) Interesting that everyone is still writing "IF" Oden is healthy, and that Thorpe is so high on Fernandez, who I think could have a Tony Parker-type impact (i.e. flashes of brilliance, but inconsistent) in his first year. One heck of a rookie group with those two guys, really.
