Jaylin Williams knocked out Poku, and shit, that’s on Poku. I type that as I think many of us saw Jaylin as that G-league who may get some rub every once and awhile. He took advantage of JRE and Poku always being injured and now I don’t wanna see the Thunder without J-Will. He does such a damn good job at being where he needs to be and doing what he needs to do. If you see him at the arc you know his man didn’t guard him and he’s taking that 3.
Poku specifically likely won’t cut it in the NBA and it’s because he isn’t that good at one specific thing. He’s not a rim protector like Chet. He’s not a facilitator like Giddey. He’s not a deep slasher like Jalen (who is shocking the hell outta me). He doesn’t have the mid-range. He is the sizzle on the steak but the steak ain’t cooked right.
I think though his meme potential kept him on a high level on the internet. Folks love memes.
Eh, when picking out the lotto, everyone is a high risk/high reward.
His play in garbage time last night tells you thay he is not going to be in the league for long. He hesitates so much even on wide open shots even when guarded by a smaller wing defender.
