Though Pukelis made most of his damage in the paint and on the put-backs, he also showed he could shoot from behind the arc and more importantly: he was near perfect from the free throw line (10/11).
Pukelis was ranked 29th overall in the FIBA 3x3 Individual World Ranking before Nanjing and should see a big jump after his team finished 2nd in Nanjing.
