4 years agoOklahoma City Thunder power forward Aleksej Pokusevski had a fine night in Monday's loss to Dallas, scoring a team-high 21 points on 8-for-17 shooting. He made three shots from deep with 10 attempts, adding six rebounds and two assists. The rookie from Serbia is shooting an ugly 29.3 percent from the field for the season, but he's logged big minutes this month and is among the youngsters the Thunder are looking to develop during the rest of the season. He faces the Raptors next on Wednesday. Toronto has a mediocre defensive record against opposing power forwards, and Nick Nurse's team is going through a very difficult time right now with 12 losses in 13 games, so it's a solid spot to perform for Pokusevski, who was the 17th pick of last year's draft.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
