Are yall referring to Aleksej Pokusevski?

I'd be on board at 13. But everyone has to know he is going to take a few years to develop.

He's 7'0" and 195 pounds, and plays in basically a rec league, where he is infinitely more talented than everyone else.

I would not be surprised if he's drafted in the 1st round but is still a draft and stash, where he goes to a higher Euro league for 2 years.

He’d be stashed overseas to develop. Drafting Poku would be a long term plan, but we already have to develop Zion/NAW/Jax since they got limited development this season. Didi is also likely coming over next season.

He may just end up another Dragan Bender who can’t develop his body enough to play in the frontcourt or he could be an incredibly interesting player to pair with Zion when he develops.

Another prospect in a similar vein is Tyrell Terry. His shot is absurd, but can we hide him on defense? I don’t think he’ll ever develop his body enough to be a competent defender.

#1 Fire Gentry
#2 Don't hire Lue or Kidd
#3 Draft best player available regardless of position with pick #13. Do not trade those two early 2nd round picks, make both picks, hope that one ends up decent.
#4 Trade Lonzo, hopefully for a future first and/or a PG/C
#5 Sign BI to max
#6 Offer extension to Hart
#7 Do not bring any of these guys back:
Frank Jackson- RFA
Kenrich Williams- RFA
Josh Gray- RFA
Zylan Cheatham- RFA

Derrick Favors- UFA
E'Twaun Moore- UFA
Jahlil Okafor- UFA
#8 sign FA at PG or C, whichever one you didn't get in the Lonzo trade. Would be nice if we could sign both DJ Augustin and Myers Leonard. I need to see who's available out there and what we have as our core coming back, but Myers Leonard is definitely a guy i'd like to target.
#9 Do not trade JJ
#10 Bring Didi over in the league
