4. Kevin Love, Minnesota Timberwolves – 27.2 PPG, 14.7 RPG

The NBA has missed you, Kevin. The best power forward in the league is back and has left no question about which player deserves that title early on in this season. Love has a PER of over 31, is second in the league in scoring and leads the league in rebounding. If he keeps this up (and stays healthy) the Wolves will cruise into the postseason without too much hassle.
