The Aleksej Conundrum

[Roy H.]

At 26 or 30, sure.

Poku should be gone long before then.

I wouldn’t take him before then, though.

excellent conundrumming so far!  TP's...

Bender, Giannis, Kelly OLynyck....Lots of players wrapped up in this mystery...

I don’t think he has Giannis level athletic ability on his drives to the basket, but he’s got a 3 point shot that Giannis doesn’t have, and he’s more decisive and has a quicker release than Olynyk.

What’s his lateral movement like? He’s fine going forward, but can he move sideways to defend? Is his length and BBIQ enough to compensate if he can’t?

Lateral movement excellent for a guy his size. That and feel are why he intrigues.

Whta if you could combine 26+30 and get him at say 20? Whats your cut off point for him?

I'm intrigued by him, but I almost always want to take the skinny high potential guy.
