On Friday, the Timberwolves' center Nikola Pekovic was named the third Most Improved Player in the NBA. He earned 104 points, behind Ryan Anderson with 260 points and Ersan Ilyasova with 159 points. Pekovic finished only his second season with the Timberwolves in April, although he played basketball in Europe for several years before joining the Timberwolves. Although president David Kahn has not promised to keep him, Pekovic's stats certainly speak for themselves.
