Rookie Kevin Love One Of The Few Minnesota Timberwolves Not Breaking Down
Quote:
For all the benefits of experience, youth does have its advantages.
Take Kevin Love.
At a time of the season when many of his veteran teammates are limping around with injuries, the Timberwolves' rookie forward appears to be getting stronger.
Love's 23 points and 12 rebounds in Tuesday night's loss to Dallas gave him double-doubles in back-to-back games and five of the past nine.
One of just two Wolves players, with forward Ryan Gomes, to have played in all 75 games this season, Love said he actually feels pretty fresh.
"I was feeling good in warm-ups tonight," he said Tuesday. "I got a good warm-up in, got a little bit hot and just came out and hit my first jump shot. I feel great."
With a rookie-high 25 double-doubles on the season, Love could get some votes for the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, although Chicago's Derrick Rose is the favorite.
