Aleksej Pokusevski

A good way to make a name for yourself is relentless effort on the defensive end against one of the league’s best players. Aleksej Pokusevski takes advantage of the opportunity, matching pace with Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant up the court before blocking his shot off the glass despite having his back turned on the play. The Oklahoma City Thunder big man made a lasting impact in an injury-shortened 14-minute performance, contributing 10 points on 4-for-4 shooting and three blocks on November 18, 2022.
