LaVine seems funny to me. Maybe it isn't intentional, but the way he says "you know" and his interviews about his favorite food choices got several laughs from me.

Most surprising was the question: Which rookie is the best defender? Very little love shown for Andrew Wiggins there. Really surprised me. Seems like we're in good shape from this years draft, though. I'm happy about LaVine, Wiggins and Robinson for the future.

I think this is a survey of each year's rookies, so there is going to be a component of popularity in it (just like class president wasn't often the most qualified candidate), and that goes a long way to explaining Flynn's overvaluing and Love's undervaluing. Flynn couldn't play very well, but by all reports had a sparkling personality and was popular among his peers. Love plays at an elite level, but is never going to win any popularity contests with his peers.
