Aleksej Pokusevski is quickly establishing himself as one of the top young prospects in the NBA today. The Oklahoma City Thunder rookie added another feather in his cap on Friday when he emphatically erased a Bradley Beal dunk attempt.

Here's a look at Poku showcasing his length against the Washington Wizards superstar (via OKC Thunder on Twitter):

Let's not forget that this is Bradley Beal we're talking about here. He's currently a tad behind Stephen Curry as the top dog in the league in terms of points per game, so it would be safe to say that Beal is an expert at getting buckets. The Wizards guard has also been known to throw it down every so often, and this would have been another one of those had it not been for Poku's intervention.

Pokusevski could have easily been on the wrong end of a Bradley Beal poster here, so kudos to him for getting up there to block the shot at the rim. Poku may not be the best defender out there, but his length is definitely something that he has used to his advantage on both the defensive end and on offense. OKC snagged a real gem on Poku in the draft.
