Pokusevski is growing up right before our eyes :wink: His ball handle is so smooth for that size, he can really make the difference off the dribble, great court vision, kids got the future.

Someone wake up Dad. We’re getting our butts kicked and I don’t want him to miss it :)

I didn't stay up and watch it. Had to be at work early this morning but looks like Poku and Theo played well. I watched their highlights on stats.nba.com. Poku had a couple of nice passes.

Losing with Poku and Maledon playing well is a perfect combo.

Love Maledon since preseason. He has a very high BBIQ. Probably not a future all star kind of prospect but his ceiling is still pretty high.

Thunder PR Twitter account says that was the first time ever two players under 20 years of age has scored 20 or more in the same game. In the entirety of NBA history. That's pretty awesome.

Poku's passing has been somewhat of a redeeming quality for his poor shooting. The more I watch, the more I'm pleased with what I see.

His shooting is getting better lately, mixing his game , driving the basketball inside have opened lots of possibilities for him.
