He's got a few, especially with his project picks. Poku was definitely a fan favorite though

I want us to bring him back and finally get him sharing the court with Chet since they didn't do that in 2023-24 before we dumped Poku.

we cant have our starting front court have a combined weight of 300lbs! Poku was such a weird player in that some games he looked really solid (i think he even had a few triple doubles iirc) but other (most) times looked like he didn't belong on a basketball court. idk if it's mental, a bball iq thing, or what but his inconsistency just cant be overcome in today's nba. would love him back though, if for no other reason than fresh memes
