OKC's young forward, Aleksej Pokusevski, recently made his return to the basketball court after missing two and a half months due to a leg injury. He played for the G League's Oklahoma City Blue for the past few games and made quite an impact, with a dominant performance against the Texas Legends on Sunday, scoring 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting, and recording eight rebounds and seven assists. Despite his low shooting efficiency in his first game back, Pokusevski has shown that he still possesses excellent passing and rebounding skills on the court.

The OKC Thunder's decision to send him to the G League helped him ramp up his return-to-play plan, so it's only a matter of time before he returns to the NBA club's frontcourt rotation. Though he may not handle a consistent enough role to warrant much attention outside the deepest of fantasy leagues, the young player's potential NBA success will depend on how well he can translate his skills from the G League to the NBA. With the Thunder looking to rebuild, they will be hoping that he can further develop his impressive all-around game to contribute to the team's long-term success.
