Aleksej Pokusevski, or “Poku” as he’s often referred to in writing by American writers for obvious reasons, is this year’s unknown international big. He’s a 7-footer who has displayed perimeter skills that no 7-footer should ever have. The internet is dotted with highlights of him throwing behind-the-back passes and draining step-back 3-point jumpers.
