The most experience post player on the roster, Aaron Pogue is the big man that most teams covet as he can change games on both ends of the court. A skilled back-to-the-basket player, Pogue can use his size and strength to score around the basket. He is also a skilled passer that can get others involved in the offense when double teams come his way. Pogue gives the Vikings an interior presence on the defensive end with the ability to control the glass and block shots.
