10 Bold Fantasy Basketball Predictions for the 2018-19 Season
Kevin Love Will Finish as a Top-10 Player Overall
Why This Is Bold: Kevin Love has not finished higher than 26th in nine-category leagues over his four seasons in Cleveland, and has an ADP of 26.3 going into this year.
Why This Will Happen: The last time that Love was the unquestioned go-to guy on a team, he finished sixth overall as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves (in 2013-14). Tossing out an injury-riddled year immediately preceding that one, Love also had back-to-back seasons of fourth-ranked returns before that.
Sure, he's 30 years old, but something resembling a return to his Minnesota form could be in order now that LeBron James has moved on and taken his high usage with him. Love might never be a top-five guy again, but he could certainly sniff the top-10 this season.
