What's new

Following Potential 2020 draftees

Aleksej Pokusevski looks like he might be able to the play the 2, 3 or 4 at the NBA level with a 7'3" wingspan, he could be like adding Kirilenko to Gobert - but a Kirilenko with better outside shooting. I'm intrigued. He can also play without the ball in his hands.

He can't guard on the perimeter is my fear. Terrible defensive low lights

I'm not sure I've seen those. But at 18, and with the ballhandling skills and length he has - I have to imagine perimeter defense can be taught. Also the 7'3" wingspan gives you more room for error.

He's a 4 in today's league -- e.g., Keith Van Horn. He'd probably be better off at this point if he didn't grow any more. I wouldn't expect him to defend like AK though.

This is KVH at age 20/21, btw:
