    Anybody that watches love and don't see the beast potential is crazy. He's putting up crazy numbers and he hasn't even peaked talent-wise. The guy has enormous untapped potential.

    How much is Love actually contributing to his team? Would the Twolves suck even more if they didn't have love? It just seems like his impact is a little inflated. I admit not knowing why, so if anyone can explain this then go ahead.

    IMO Scola would make the Wolves better in a direct player swap.

    I think your list is accurate. I think Love at 1 and drop Blair.... Period. Other than that I agree.

    Because he puts up empty numbers with minus defense. Just watch the team play and you'll see why.

    It would be interesting to see what would happen if he weren't on such a terrible team. He puts up big numbers, but no one else on that team is going to go for a rebound, and someone has to get them. And someone has to score points, because Darko Milicic and Anthony Randolph won't be doing it.

    So would his production drop down because he was actually playing with competent teammates? I think it would. I think he'd still be good - but Bosh and Aldridge are probably better. Dirk is definitely better, and if Randolph keeps the crazy away he's better too.

    His team won 24, 15 and 17 games over the last three years, that is terrible. He can't be that good if his team is still that bad.

    Also, tanking rarely works.

    Dajuan Blair like Millsap is just beastin it now PER wise... Normally he wouldn't be on that list.
    I give credit to undersized PFs for what they are doing now.
    I will drop him later

    Kevin Love is right about having that mindset, but to answer the question... I'd say Dirk Nowitzski is the best 4 in the league. KLove is really good too, but he can't take over a game like Dirk. KLove will be the best 4 in the years to come though, but right now I think it's Dirk and Pau.

    - dirk, lamarcus and maybe zbo i wouldput above him
    - i watched some of his game i think think he is trying to pad stats because he always runs for the rebounds and sometimes sacrafices contesting the shot to do so

    Gasol is a SoftForward.... If you really want to find PowerForwards.....
    ZBo, Griffin, Love style..... who can bang it down low.....
