4. Aleksej Pokusevski (Olympiacos II, PF, 2001)
Elevator pitch: There aren't many 7-footers outside the NBA who possess Pokusevski's wing-like offensive skills. He's also the draft's youngest prospect who doesn't turn 19 until Christmas time.
Analysis: In 11 HEBA 2 games (Greece's second division) this season, Pokusevski averaged 1.6 threes, 3.1 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 steals in 23.1 minutes. Between his shooting, passing and defensive playmaking, he checks a rare, valued set of boxes with his unique skill level for a 7'0" forward.
Despite his height, he won't be considered a big, given his lack of strength and comfort level around the basket. But Pokusevski has become one of the most tempting prospects in the draft with his advanced perimeter game, open-floor ball-handling and defensive instincts.
