Pekovic Not Thinking About the NBA Yet

Some interesting parts of the interview:

Back onto the court, you have worked yourself more and more into the regular rotation at Panathinaikos. What is the strongest part of your game and how do you help most this team?

“My strongest part is to play in the paint. I am trying to help this team as much as I can, because we are all here to play for the team and Panathinaikos in this point is like Partizan. There is not one guy who can do whatever he wants. It’s like we are everybody there for the team. Sometimes it’s happening during the season, in different games, different guys are going to score points, but that doesn’t really matter. It’s just the team getting wins. That’s why we are all here in this team”.

This year you were drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the first pick of the second round. What do you think about getting drafted and what did the management at Minnesota tell you about your future with the team?

“I don’t think now about NBA. It’s something I tell to everybody. I really don’t like to speak about it. There is no pressure from their side. They tell me “come in two years”. I don’t know what will happen in two years. I am such a kind of player. Even when I signed for Panathinaikos they were asking me about it and I was giving the same answer. “I don’t know. Let’s get there first”. I am very happy in Panathinaikos right now and I don’t think about the NBA”.

And this summer you played for Montenegro in the first phase of the EuroBasket 2009, winning all four games against Netherlands, Austria, Iceland and Denmark. What did it mean for you to play for Montenegro? Do you think that you can be in Eurobasket 2011 and where do you see yourself in five years?

“It’s OK. I don’t like why we split, because we had a good team, we have won the world championship with Serbia and Montenegro. I decided to play for Montenegro because of my family. It’s good fan because there are a lot of good persons, like Drobnjak, Scepanovic… It’s very good guys. This year was OK. We had fan, we traveled to nice cities, we got good results. I don’t know what will happen in the future, in 2011… I don’t think what will happen in two years or in five years… I think about today, about this year…”
