Imo, it has to be Kevin Love. Nigga was injured for like a year and a half and he's come back beasting.

26.5 ppg 14.3 reb 4.0 ast 47,1% FG 80% FT (10 FTA per game)

Do you think he can keep it up? He averaged 20 and 15 for 73 games in 2011 and 26 and 13 for 55 games in 2012. Last season he was injured.

Who else has surprised you?

just like the clown b4 him, postsing up meaningless stats and going nowhere...either take responsibility or use the same excuse as the previous guy

wait he, he is on a max contract and has better pieces around him then KG wolves had...

Now yeah, but the team has always suffered injuries. 2011 Rubio tears his ACL with like 10 seconds to go in the game against the Masked Rapist (Kirby), 2012 they sign shitheads like Brandon Roy and AK47(horrible contract, constantly injured) and Kevin love played like 15 games last season and was never 100%.

I'm giving Love this year, he's playing well right now and if he keeps it up with the current cast and they don't lose Rubio/Martin to an injury and make the playoffs, K.Love goes back to being the best PF, imo.

Keep in mind, I also said Love was overrated before the season began, but he has been the reason the Wolves have started out so well(3-1)

Nah Kevin has always been a monster, no surprise he can put great numbers. My pick is deron, everyone had high expectations and thought he'd be the player he once was but so far he' still pretty underwhelming and it's not even just his offensive production it's his overall demeanor and body language.

Unibrow is also my other pick, he's always been able to score and rebound but he looks like he's going to break out this year, averaging 23 pts and 12 boards so far. Production will dip as the season goes on but so far he's impressove

Wolves will be back in the cellar by 30 games.

MCW is the most surprising player so far. They're still golds even in a shitty draft year imho, like Agent 0 in 01.

imo it depends on the team u get drafted, if team is shit and u are a low pick but all of sudden get the starting job, you too will breakout with good stats, compared to someone drafted on stack team having t o fight his way up the rotations

MCW if drafted onto the spurs, he will not get starting job...will have to fight his way up just like the other 2 shits cunts cojo, ndc

You're surprised by DWill being a pouting, whining disappointment? He's been that way for several years now, tbh :lol

negative - Bennet, Green
positive - unibrow, MCW, and looking only at Spurs - Diaw

KLove is not a surprise for me because he is a well known stat-padder.

If they can stay healthy, I can see another Adleman team like the 2002 Kings.

Mike Conley.

18.8 ppg 6.8 apg 44% shooting.

how would that make him "most surprising" tbh.

his fg% is right on par with his career average, those assists are nothing special compared to his past few. just he's scoring about 4 more ppg, which isn't surprising since z-bo has declined, marc isn't a #1 scorer, and they have no Gay to start the season

LaMarcus Aldridge is the best PF in the game. Why people don't recognize this is beyond my comprehension.

An elite rebounder and defender, perhaps he will win DPoY and lead the team to the Finals vs the Bobcats.

Without a doubt it's Michael Carter Williams. There's no surprise Love is playing well. I'm also intrigued to see where Vitor Faverani goes from here.

Monta Ellis balling well as too. His P'nR with Dirk is dynamite.

Ellis is still inconsistent like a bitch's mood though. when he shoots well (like last night vs. Lakers) we win, and when he doesn't, more often than not we end up losing the game because he'll always take that many shots no matter if his hands are cool or hot, while a great team player (like Manu) knows what's the right time to pass the ball more.

Monta had a great game last night though. Dude was efficient as fuck in offense and he also dished out like 9 assists which was game high... dude couldn't expect any backcourt defense shittier than Nash and Blake though. I'm really glad we won the game with Monta being the main propellant but I doubt he can keep it up tbh.

Xavier Henry. He's Kobe lite.. dude can straight up take shot attempts.

Rudy Gobert, 8.5PF per 36!
On the other hand, 13,1 Reb per 36.

Pau. I know it's only been 5 games, but the Lakers should realistically be 0-6. Pau is keeping them alive until his beta returns

Pure scorers just need a good coach and right complementary players to be effective. Rc is a top 3 coach and montage has one of the quickest 1st steps. Mavs should beat all weaker teams like the Lakers and will upset a few more talented but lessor coached ones like Okc or Clips.

Bullshit bench won the first game. Pau didn't play in the 4th. Don't just boxscore watch.

Are you trying to imply that Smith isn't retarded, that Britney Spears is retarded too or that you don't understand why I said that?
