Whoa.. what? He is not an elite Center. Gortat put up better numbers the season before last and nobody wanted to even trade Gordon for him.

There have been 20 seasons in NBA history in which a big man averaged at least 16 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.7 offensive rebounds and made at least 74% of his free throw attempts. Moses Malone did it 10 times. David Robinson, Bill Laimbeer, and Bon McAdoo each did it twice. Hakeem Olajuwon, Dave Cowens, and Roy Tarpley all did it once. And last season, Nikola Pekovic did it. It was something that hadn’t been done since 1995-96 when the Admiral did it for the second time.






Anyway, Flip Saunders all but said the TWolves arent letting Pekovic get away. And Vucevic is going to get paid.

If you want a guy like this, you need to draft one and hope they pan out.

That is the most random set of stats I have ever seen put together. So because Howard or Shaq or pretty much any other Center are poor FT shooters their seasons are not as good? Like I said..

2012-13 Pek
62 games, 16.3 ppg, 8.8 rpg, .8 bpg, 52 %fg, 74 %ft
2011-12 Gortat
66 games, 15.4 ppg, 10.0 rpg, 1.5 bpg, 55 %fg, 64 %ft

Gortat makes 7.5m and no one says that he is way underpaid. How is Pek any better?
