ANALYSIS
The Serbian forward will return to his home country for the 2024-25 season after a four-year run in the NBA. The No. 17 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Pokusevski at times flashed intriguing shot-blocking and playmaking skills for a seven-footer, but efficiency was a major issue, as he shot just 39.1 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from three-point range while committing 1.5 turnovers in 20.4 minutes per game over 168 career contests with the Thunder and Hornets. Still just 22 years old, Pokusevski could resurface at the NBA level down the road if he's able to impress during his time in Europe.
