Was just looking up some stats, and it looks like our boy KLove won't be able to win a rebounding title this year because I don't think he'll qualify (assuming that you either can finish with 70 games played or 800 total rebounds).

It's really too bad, too, because Love is dominating the league qualifiers right now. Dwight Howard is #1 overall in rebounds per 48 at 17.9, followed by one Dajuan Blair, J. Noah, J. Pryz, and M. Camby (at 16.5). If Love qualified he'd be the clear #1 at 18.8 rebounds per 48. Dude's got skills.

The only other thing I'd like to throw out there is further recognition of Love's game and ability to contribute in multiple different ways. Yes, it's clear that he is a tenacious rebounder who believes that he can get any loose ball out there. But when I see another young, under-heighted player in Dajaun Blair with similar rebounding rates only get 14.4 mpg on a team that could really use more production out of him, it just makes me appreciate that Love does have enough shooting and facilitation ability to warrant significant minutes. He ain't perfect, but he's also pretty difficult to replace.
