Is he averaging 6 PPG on 40% TS%? Yes.
Was he unplayably bad before being sent down to the G-League? Yes.
Would Joel Embiid or Jokic actually kill him if they posted 200 pound Poku up? Yes.
Have I suffered through enough OKC games to see that Poku has the raw athleticism, wingspan, and most-importantly, the confidence to run pick and rolls and attempt stepback threes and isolation shots despite shooting 33%? To play point guard and attempt to make passes that most players would only dream of? While also flashing the defensive versatility to guard multiple positions? Yes.
So I want to be the first poster on this site to predict that within 10 years, Aleksej Pokusevski will win at least one NBA MVP award and will be a top three player in the league.
Feel free to bump this thread in two years when he's washed out of the NBA and is playing for Baskonia.
