Regular season MVP predictions for the coming NBA season

THE OUTSIDE PICK

Kevin Love (Position –PF)

Love has missed 107 of a possible 394 of Minnesota’s game since joining the Timberwolves. Love can score in a lot of ways and can rebound at will, which makes him a true double-double machine. If he manages to stay fit and leads Minnesota to the playoffs, then it would be a huge achievement. Love has never got a chance to play with another star player and it doesn’t look like the Minnesota front office is going to change that anytime soon. He does have Ricky Rubio, who could potentially become that superstar given time. If the two of them manage to stay healthy, they just might propel the T’Wolves into the playoffs, and Love into the race for MVP.

Honourable Mentions- Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs), Marc Gasol (Memphis Grizzlies), Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks), Dwight Howard (Houston Rockets), Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers), Deron Williams (Brooklyn Nets), Paul George (Indiana Pacers).
