I Love the Love just as much as the next wolves fan, but putting him in front of Beasley, Mayo, and Rose is a bit of a stretch.

Might be, but you could argue that because of his BBIQ and his natural complimentary nature he will be more effective right away then Beasley and Rose. Regardless of how Crazy beasley is he is still a tweener/combo in skill with less than proven defensive desire. It will take him a while to translate. Rose is a pg, very tough to come in your first year and be a factor as a pg. Love can come in and be a "dominate role player" from almost day 1. Maybe in the future he can be more, but right now he can contribute.

Re: Love is behind one rookie ... ESPN
So among this year's rookie class, Love is only behind someone who's not even drafted this year~~
I wouldnt compare Love and Oden, but i believe Love has the tools and potential to become the next LaMarcus Alderidge in 2-3 years or so~~~
Running a high-low post inside combo with Jefferson will for sure boost Love's offensive stat in any conceivable catagory, the only thing he might need to improve is how to defend in transition and half-courtly in a NBA level. He's probably a Al Horford after first year, a LMA in 2-3 year, and could eventually be Carlos Boozer at career peak( not a perennial all star, but solid dominant NBA player), just imagine when the Pekovic guy come over from europe, our big men would be so complimented, so young, and so explosive
GO wolves!
