Elite ball handling for his size. Elite passing for his size. High level 3pt shooting off movement for his size. Elite shot blocking.
I think his ball handling is elite for his size. I like his passing potential given that he clearly sees scoring opportunities for others well, and when he does, he can make the pass quickly from a lot of different angles. But I don't think it's elite given how much he turns it over. Good potential, though.
I don't think his 3 point shooting is elite, but he looks more comfortable than most 7-footers his age which is something to build on. Lauri Markkanen shot 39% playing D-1 at Poku's age. That's elite for a 6'11-7'0 guy. Poku is at 32%. Markkanen also had a total field goal of 49% compared to Poku's 40%. Markannen is sitting at 35% from 3 in the NBA and 43% field goal.
I don't think his shot blocking is elite, because it mostly comes as a result of significantly shorter players dribbling directly at him or weakside blocks at the rim. When he is playing against coordinated, athletic, grown men his size, his block rate is going to plummet. Especially when his name is on a scouting report that says, "Pump fake."
