MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - If the massive, gothic tattoos on Nikola Pekovic's left shoulder and right calf don't get your knees knocking, his expressionless face and 6-foot-11, 290-pound frame will do the trick.
Throw in a thick beard and a close-cropped haircut that comes to a point in the front just a few inches above his eyebrows, and he looks more like a henchman in a James Bond film than a center for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Thirty games into his second season in the NBA, Pekovic is showing that he has a big, bad game to match his menacing image.
Pekovic is averaging 17.1 points and 11.7 rebounds in nine games this month to assert himself as the starting center the team has long been searching for while giving All-Star Kevin Love the extra muscle he has needed in the frontcourt.
"I knew what I can do," Pekovic said on Thursday. "Maybe I don't know that I can do it like this so much, but I knew that I can play. ... I was just waiting for my chance."
Three weeks ago, Pekovic was hardly seeing the floor and looked like another Timberwolves second-round draft pick that wasn't going to turn out. Now he's a fan favorite who has emerged as a force in the middle with more nicknames than Jeremy Lin.
