I know that considering matchups as a part of someone's value is not ideal. However, in the case of Pokusevski, his minutes and eye-test play suggest that match ups are a determinant for his value. So, is it time to look at OKC matchups and Start/Bench him based on matchups? And if so, how can we determine a game where he will play low minutes? (for example he plays a large center in Embiid)

Yes, it does seem like matchups have something to do with it, but it's not always just about the size of the opponent. It seems like it's very much based on whether he's defending his position early in the game and it's hard to know if he's going to be mentally engaged on any given evening...
