Charlotte Hornets Sign Aleksej Pokusevski To A Deal

So poku Alexi poku veski did I say that right I’ve always said that terribly even though my family is from Yugoslavia like my grandfather was born in scle Macedonia raised in Belgrade but either way poku is siging with the Hornets I’m surprised he just wasn’t thrown in in

The trade to begin with but yes what we’re hearing specifically is poku is a man that you can expect to be in Charlotte the Hornets are expected to sign poku sources tell ESPN the Thunder wav the former 17th overall pick in 2020 he literally had a humorous fracture and

Had a few other injuries this offseason this past year he literally had three pretty significant injuries and ended up never like getting a shot to be put in the rotation this year even though last year he started to figure it out what is his position I I still don’t know at one

Point people thought he was a shooting guard at another time people thought he was a cter I think at this point he’s kind of like a combo forward he’s a 7 foot shot blocking combo forward with a little bit of passing touch it’s kind of

Like a Swiss army knife okay is the best way I I would say like he he has value I I don’t realistically know how much there is but I like that he gets a shot here as Charlotte where it’s a gap here and what he’s going to be able to do especially

With the fact that like JT Thor Kai Jones didn’t pan out those minutes could go to Poco in terms of like the rotations over last year again like 15 minutes a night but it’s the team that stylistically next to Brandon Miller Nick Richards Mister mil Bridges he fits

There especially with PJ Washington gone it it makes sense for a team like the Hornets to go out and get a guy like poku who if he works out like I wonder if it’s going to be a multi-year deal we haven’t heard it but he’s he’s 7′ 210 lb

I think now super long 7 foot 7 fo three wingspan problem is he’s got a super thin frame which doesn’t really allow him to guard people inside the post he’s more of a he can’t he’s not the world he can rebound but he’ll get like boxed out

Easily but he can handle the rock he’s been able to knock down jumpers and he can do it with his feed set are off the dribble and he’s got some playmaking ability and he has this weird unique skill set for being like he was a unicorn people had real big big thoughts

On him like so last year was he’s only played 10 games this year last year was basically his best year he put at eight points five first career is basically averaging s and a half points 4.7 rebounds two assists at night but last year was his best splits year in terms

Of just shooting it was a guy who came out and shot last year 41% from the field seven and a half field goal attempts a game at in 20 minutes and put up three and a half threes at I mean yeah three and a half threes at 36.5%

And by the way his fuel percentage was 43.4 41% was his sophomore year so there’s Talent

The Charlotte Hornets are expected to sign F Aleksej Pokusevski, sources tell ESPN. The Oklahoma City Thunder waived him this week. Pokusevski was the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Aleksej Pokusevski has played 4 seasons for the Thunder. He has averaged 7.5 points and 4.7 rebounds in 150 regular-season games.
