Who is the BEST power forward in the NBA right now

PF is a very deep in the league right now. I feel like the top three power forwards in the league now are Kevin Love, Lamarcus Aldridge, and of course the "sexy pick" Blake Griffin. I feel like Aldridge and Love are both currently playing at a MVP level right now. But I would definitely give the edge to Love because of the rate he can rack up the boards.

Kevin Love hands down.

I'd say Love or Aldrige, followed by Z-Bo, Griffin, and Dirk.

Love.
It will be Dirk by the end of the season.

Kevin Love is probably the best right now, but I'd take Blake Griffin if I could choose between the two because I think he has a brighter future.

Kevin Love right now is better than Aldridge. Aldridge has never averaged 9 rebounds his whole career until right now early in the season. Love averaged 9.1 his rookie season and has averaged over 10 every year since. Their scoring is comparable because although Love has more PPG he shoots a worse percentage overall, but he has a higher 3-pt percentage.

Dude is all volume. What kind of power forward shoots under 43%?
I'd take Amare, Dirk, Ryan Anderson (Shooting better than Love this year), Blake, Josh Smith, Varejao, Aldridge, Bosh, Boozer, and Millsap over him.
Love is the king of rebounding his own missed lay-ups and dunks.

Bosh

He is shooting right at 43%, it is low, but he has been over 45% his whole career. So expect it go up.

Which is complete shite for a hybrid center/power forward.

Varejao and Anderson? You got shite for brains or something?

he's taking more shots. And more telling, more 3pters.
5 3pt attempts per game. he took 3 per game last year
18 total FG attempts per game. he shot 14 times per game last year

Varejao is rebounding nearly as well, is shooting far better, and most importantly, play far far better defense.
Anderson is a stretch, but he is shooting better than Love overall, and is hitting over 42% of his 3 point shots. That's damn good for a power forward taking 7.5 3 point shots per game.
