he is THE youngest player currently in the NBA, he’s 7-feet tall and rail thin, and he’s full of untapped potential. is he the future? the OKC Thunder certainly think he could be ...

this is from his recently-re-set career night ...

Yeah, he’s completely raw and under-developed. He’s getting a chance with OKC because they’re tanking. He does have a bit of swagger and unwarranted lack of conscience. But, he’s interesting and worth watching.

The question is WHY with one of the greatest players of all time Dirk Nowitzki(over 30,000 career pts) to go with MVP threats Doncic and Jokic? Why don't more teams search for white potential all stars? We already know the answer to that one. It's
racism against whites. It has gone on for decades and will only continue.

Aleksej Pokusevski has all the tools to become a star. All he needs is some added weight and strength. The guy can flat out play. Deadly shooter, nice shot blocker and rebounder for his size. Above average handles for his height. He is one to watch for sure
if OKC continues to give him the chance. Any team would be lucky to have this big mans services. Hope he blossoms even more in the near future!
