Pokusevski has spent the last few years with Greek Olympiacos, but has noticed action with the senior team. He played 11 games with the progression team HEBA A2, the Greek division at the moment, averaging 10. 8 points and 7. 9 rebounds consistent with the game.
He also showed his defensive with 1. 8 blocks and 1. 3 steals consistent with the game.
These figures turn out what you can do with an impressive 7’0 frame “with a wingspan of 7’3”.
The attacker can make a difference defensively by using its duration up to the hoop and interrupting overtaking lines. Offensively, he showed that he can score on various internal and external tactics.
“It’s a progression project, of course. But the combination with frame and fluidity make him breathe a rarefied air,” Kyle Boone wrote of CBSSports. com.
MIKE Schmitz of ESPN a complete review of the player’s skills:
New distribution on the youngest player in the draft, Aleksej Pokusevski. The 7 foot player is a skill given its size, handling, passing feeling, shooting touch, shooting instinct. durability. https: //t. co/euWiR1MY7k
Writing Pokusevski is a significant threat given its limited pleasure in the face of high-level competition. He played well at the 2019 FIBA U18 European Championship, but still has a lot to do on the field.
That can force the Thunder to take it easy, obviously they see many benefits in the 18-year-old.
