UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: (RAW) NEW WAVE FORWARD

 

Aleksej Pokusevski has a very interesting ceiling - slender big w/ new wave talent - Poku is someone to monitor in OKC; moves like a SF, slight build - Poku can get out and run, is capable of putting the ball down & scoring from the 3-pt. line; intriguing prospect: has shown flashes of everything - perimeter scoring, shot-blocking & passing/creating off the dribble; ability to handle is a huge plus for his size - Poku can come around screens & score with a pull-up or short J (tough to sit on at 7’0!); very quick shot release that suggests sustainable volume down the line - must avoid pitfall of settling for too many jumpers; likes to rip & run - scary potential on the break at his maximum peak; working on adding muscle & prioritizing better shot selection = continued areas of focus; nice outlook as a supplementary contributor in Charlotte

SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.
