Pekovic 8.8 rebounds in 32 min. Kaman 5.4rebounds in 20min
Pekovic 0.8 assists in 32 min. Kaman 0.8 assists in 20min
Pekovic 0.8 blocks in 32 min. Kaman .082 blocks in 20min
Pekovic .518FG% Kaman .507FG%
Gortat ...1.6 blocks in 31min .521FG% (double double guy when motivated)
I mean, look at MIN record. They are 27-46. I fear Pekovic is fool's gold to some degree.
ps: And yes, he had some really great games. But this is when he played 40min

It is like combining Wright's and Brand's stats...
...dunno what to think about it. IMO we do not need an "all star" caliber C. We need an all star backcourt and a solid C who does the "dirty job" for Dirk on defense. Not a guy who "takes pride" in scoring.
