Nikola Pekovic, big man from Montenegro is not getting any playing time at the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is very surprising and unfair, check statistics of Pekovic's performance in Euroleague and the European championships:

Euroleague (with Partizan Belgrade):
PPG: 15.4
RPG: 4.6
APG: 0.7
SPG: 0.3
2P%: 54.9%
3P%: 0%
FT%: 81.1%

European Championship 2011 (with Montenegro):
13.0 Points per game
6.4 Rebounds per game
0.6 Assists per game

Here is video to show him:


Rick Adelman should put Nikola Pekovic more on the court, he obviously has potential but Adelman is not letting him show it...

Well he has been injured and just got healthy. So now he has to work himself into shape and into the rotation. Relax.

Well he has to compete with Love, D-Will, Tolliver, and Darko for playing time. And they are all earning it right now. As daddy said he was hurt to start the season. I wouldn't mind if he took all of Randolph's minutes. I've seen enough of Randolph to know that he's a terrible basketball player.

Shhh. We have to build up Randolph's value so we can trade him for Anthony Morrow.

Pekovic hasn't been very good in the NBA so far in his short career. He fouls WAY too much and can't stay on the court. His offense is decent, but his defense is average at best.

He just needs more time to get used to the speed of the game. Also, he's been injured so he needs to stay healthy.

welcome monclerdiscount!

i want pek to dominate in this league, and he is actually a pretty decent option down low for us (way better then darko on the offensive end IMO). but he was way to aggressive and fouls a lot. maybe he can fix that this year.

but if i am not mistaken wasnt he hurt? is he healthy yet?
