Similar seasons since 1979-80. You have names like Bynum, Barkley, Kemp, Parish, Sabonis, a pre-drug-suspension Roy Tarpley and, of course, Jeff Ruland.
Pekovic leads the league in offensive rebound percentage. He is 2nd in the league in shooting percentage and true shooting percentage (behind Steve Nash). He is in the top 12 in the league in Offensive Rating.
If he maintains this level of play, Pek could be extremely hard for the Wolves to sign after next year. I mean, look at the guys I identified above -- all except Ruland received $10MM+ a year contracts at the height of their powers.
Look at the Pek age 26 comparison with the Jeff Ruland age 23 season comparison. Very, very similar.
