Everything Jakob Poeltl

[Day One]

I think i see whats going on here, Ross cant be moved till the 1st I have a feeling this pick is not ours. Will no on how MU addresses the media i guess.

He's also the one guy, aside from maybe Sabonis, that actually has a shot to make our rotation - especially if we can' t sign Biz, but even if we can.

Biz and Jakob could be serious bizness off the bench next season. Bismack's defensive athleticism and Poeltl's ball skills, quickness, and overall acumen would make that a distinct possibility.

His advanced metrics in college were crazy good.

Poeltl is going to be able to play.

People hate good, they want sexy.

Actually was #3 among college players in the FiveThirtyEight model - only Ingram and Dunn rated higher.

Right, because he always gives up so much.

next 5 teams drafting dont need a PF, how many people would of been ok with Davis or Labissiere at 9 because they are both going to be availbile at 27, were turning into the spurs people, maybe mu makes a minor trade for the 28 and we get both lol

Nice. Was one of my top 5 guys, though not the one I was most excited for. Solid pick, if safe for my liking. Far better than some other picks around him - what the heck are GM's doing in this draft?

I have absolutely no idea. Least predictable draft ever.

i love how clearly this draft has demostrated so clearly that Jakob was the only thing approaching a good-pick-sure-thing at 9. It's actually quite fantastic (for me).

He wasn't the first pick of the third tier - he was the final pick of the 2nd.

That's why I like the pick. The Raps are far more likely to trade their way from good to great than to draft their way. Mobile skilled bigs are always going to have value, especially on rookie deals or extensions.

the hate for this pick on here is rivaling the JV pick hate from the media in 2011.

Yeah, that's the most exciting thing with this kid. I think he can just ball.

Biz is going to be the first big off the bench (hopefully). Poeltl is going to be the 2nd.

We're going to be big, badass, built for the playoffs, and beating teams up inside and out.

It's what everyone always wanted - one of the best big-man rotations in the NBA.
