I think Mavs attempt to trade that pick for for a vet wing or aging star and Poku could be their backup plan.

But I could see them picking Poku and then trade back with OKC to pick up an asset and then grab a wing with that pick.

The most likely suitor for Poku imo is Boston with one of their many first rounders.

I think the teams who like him see him as a WING, not a BIG. Like, closer to Luka’s game than KP’s...though he won’t ever become half as good as either, probably. But, in those videos of him that have been circulating for the past few months, he is definitely playing the three hand handling the ball for his team.

Probably so.
I tend to see some Ginobli in his game.

You’re hiding him on defense for years though. He’s long but would get bodied underneath. And he would get blown by by 3 and 4s. You’d have to be super patient and wait 4 years for him to be a rotation player I think.
