2020 NBA Draft

[SMC0007]

People said many of the same things about Kevin Durant body as they do Poku. He's been a rail his whole career.

LOL, I was trying to think of a comparison earlier, and as ludicrous as it might sound, that’s a pretty good one. He is like a taller Kevin Durant with better handles, but without the shooting stroke.

Imagine if Kevin Durant was coming into the league right now, only he was doing all of that behind the back, side dribble into a three point shot stuff that is required these days. And he was 7 feet tall. That is Poku.

I still don’t see any possible way the Mavs are interested. And, the fact that there is so much speculation linking them makes me feel even more confident that he’s not their guy.

To be completely honest, if I had to bet money right now I would put it on a draft night trade that takes number 18 out of the equation completely.

I like Poku because although he could completely bust, he has the potential to be really good

And he would be a good trade asset. With the weird year next year, most rookies will still be mostly potential since they won't be able to develop as normal. So a guy like Poku will be a great lottery ticket to throw into a trade after next season

If they really wanted him I still don't think they could justify using 18 for him. Maybe picking a lower risk guy Bey ,Bane for example at 18 and moving up the 31 pick or just trading down the 18th?

KD is a stretch obviously but the same things were said about his body and he put in the work and proved everyone wrong.
