You wouldn't think that losing so little weight off a 300-pound frame would amount to much, but the Pekovic who worked out at the Minnesota Timberwolves' practice facility Thursday boasted a dramatically altered frame. It likely appeared to be more weight than it was because of the amount of muscle the center added (remember, guys, muscle weighs more than fat), and Pekovic continued to lift the frighteningly large weights he tossed around last season.
Instead of analyzing the weight loss too much, Pekovic preferred to put it in simpler terms. When asked where the weight went, he didn't need to elaborate:
"To muscles."
