True but their's a huge difference between doing what he did in Cleveland vs doing what he was doing in Minny, he still took 3's in Minny yet he was able to get the ball in different spots and have allot more plays ran for him all over the court.
I think Loves overall stats were inflated but you don't get 14-15 boards a night w/o being supremely athletic if you aren't a great rebounder. Even while Cle had him sitting out at the three line & playing with Bron & Thompson he still managed 10 boards a game.
If you're looking at Love for his fit next to Okafor - based on being able to "shoot the three ball at a high rate" to give Okafor more post-ups and being a passer to get Okafor more easy baskets in the post - then you're looking to use him more like Cleveland did than Minnesota.
I don't doubt he can be a great rebounder anywhere he goes. His defensive rebounds don't have anything to do with what role he's assuming on the other end.
