John Hollinger wrote:Minnesota lost Tuesday night, but again looked pretty good doing it thanks to the improvement of their young players. Randy Foye has settled in as a starting 2 who periodically shifts to the point, Rodney Carney has taken Rashad McCants-Kardashian's spot in the rotation and played reasonably well, and even Sebastian Telfair has been showing a pulse.
But the best development may be the play of Kevin Love off the bench. He had 12 points and nine rebounds Wednesday night in the loss to Utah and averages an amazing 14.7 boards per 40 minutes on the season. In fact -- shhhh! -- Love now has a better PER than O.J. Mayo. (Love is at 16.48, Mayo at 15.66.) Which, one would think, would quiet down quite a bit all the flak Kevin McHale has taken about the draft-day trade of the two.
