Minnesota Drafts Aleksej Pokusevski At No. 17, Heads To Thunder
4 years agoThe Minnesota Timberwolves selected forward Aleksej Pokusevski with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Serbia, but they will reportedly ship the 18-year-old winger to Oklahoma City in exchange for a package that includes Ricky Rubio and the Nos. 25 and 28 overall selections in the first round. The Thunder have one of the most turbulent rosters in the league, so it's hard to factor in how Pokusevski might fit in out of the gate. With Oklahoma City undoubtedly keeping an eye toward the future, it remains to be seen whether Pokusevski will even be stateside for the '20-21 season, so fantasy managers can safely look elsewhere to begin the year.
