5. Kevin Love
The Minnesota Timberwolves have become one of the most fun teams to watch in the NBA. Much of that has to do with Kevin Love.
Fresh and back from an injury-plagued season, Love is fourth in the league (behind only Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James) averaging 25.4 points per game, and second in the league (Dwight Howard is first) with 13.3 rebounds per game.
If Minnesota was better than 8-6, Love would be higher on this list.
