Dwight was also anchoring one of the best defenses in the league, grabbing 12-14 boards a game (like Love), blocking 3 shots a game and getting opposing frontcourts in foul trouble on a nightly basis. Love doesn't have any positive impact on his team defensive, aside from grabbing defensive rebounds. He is one of the weaker big man defenders in the league, doesn't block shots and rarely picks up charges. There is a huge difference between Dwight, at the time, not being able to create his own offense all that well and Love not being able to create his own offense. Dwight was still able to impact the game numerous different ways while Love, when he isn't scoring, really only does in one other way.
