The Trampled Sandcastle of Jakob Pöltl

[BillMc]

Get in here if you support the big Austrian.

He was a lottery pick. Let's hope he can improve in SA.

[Fireball]

I like him ... and the thread title

[FlAVaK]

As I said during LA-trade dicussion (Wagner, Bonga), closest to witnessing a german Spur since Ademola Okulaja playing summer league in 2003 :lol



Herzlich Willkommen bei den Sporen, Jakob :bobo

[From Downtown]

Count me in

[noles1983]

How the fuck do you pronounce his last name?

[Obi Wan Ginobili 20]

OMG! One of my questions for the team heading into the new season was who will play center along with LA on the court (Gasol is too old), and the video highlight below just answered my question.

Rhymes with turtle.

[MVPCues]

Huh. Top 10 plays look nice. I sort of like "Poeltl Power". Now let's see the Low 10 plays.

[lil'mo]

Pöltl Power

[moisaenz]

is he better than parker's french buddy?

[lil'mo]

If this dude puts on some muthle he could be pretty good. We don’t need another gasol. We need some power

[Play Boban]

Hurtle, basically.

[cool cat]

Splitter 2.0 or just Splitter that can dunk.

[SpursDynasty85]

Different player than Splitter for sure. He was a former lottery pick with good upside. Looks like a great addition and not just a filler.

[slick'81]

Is he any good?

[BillMc]

He's only 22. There's still time, especially for bigs.

[slick'81]

Hope so . Dude barely played fir being a top 10 pick and many have called him a bust

[boutons_deux]

Is my hope, if spurs know how to develop a big man

[DJR210]

Well, let's just say he's an upgrade over Lord Joffrey. I'm sure he'll have more than 2 blocks this season :tu

[JFK]

Is my hope, if spurs know how to develop a big man

He probably will work out. I hope he isn't the second coming of Trasho Nesterovic.

[John B]

This guy likes to dunk over people with mean intentions. I already like this guy.

[BillMc]

He probably will work out. I hope he isn't the second coming of Trasho Nesterovic.

If he's as good as Baynes, I'd be happy.

[Proxy]

I'm excited to see if Manu can get him going on the p&r... and those blocks are exciting to see

[SpursBills]

Best case scenario, we have our starting center for the next decade; he probably tops out at a borderline all-star center, which is important going forward as the league is going to start transitioning back to being dominated by bigs in the next 5-10 years (Embiid, Towns, Jokic, Gobert, Porzingas, JJJ, Ayton, Bamba, etc.)

He dunks too much so pop won't like him

[Keepin' it real]

Now bring over Molotov and we've got twin towers 2.0 !!!

[SpursforSix]

I cautiously optimistic.

But this is a gay as fuck way to dunk.

Mormons, amirite?

[Play Boban]

Now bring over Molotov and we've got twin towers 2.0 !!!

The Eurotowers :wow

[HarlemHeat37]

If he's as good as Baynes, I'd be happy.

He's already much better than Baynes:lol

[BillMc]

He's already much better than Baynes:lol

If true, good news.

Splitter was clearly ethnically German.

This

[Holden_Caulfield]

Finally a big that is actually big and mobile

[BD24]

Bumping this to make sure people know its the real one, not that tranny lover Spurts tbh.

[BillMc]

Finally a big that is actually big and mobile

Yeah. He looks like he could be OK if pulled out on the perimeter.

[daledondale]

Well, let's just say he's an upgrade over Lord Joffrey. I'm sure he'll have more than 2 blocks this season :tuThis guy, compared with Joffrey, is David Robinson.

[HankChinaski]

I like the small size I have seen of this guy. That Pokemon last name though...Poeltl Poeltl.

[BSfromTX]

If he is mobile enough

Murray
Derozan
Gay
Aldridge
JP


This could be a tough line up to score against. Its a fairly slow front court but lots of length to bother shots and play help defense.

[SAGirl]

Trampled,
Sancastle?
In.

[dbestpro]

Hope so . Dude barely played fir being a top 10 pick and many have called him a bust

Pöltl ended the 2017–18 regular season having made 34 of his last 39 shots in the final eight games. He was also the only Raptors player to appear in all 82 regular-season contests.

[Chucho]

I'm excited about him. He's efficient, gritty and doesn't seem like a pussy. He and Ferrari are the only new signees this year that dont seem to be massive wastes of money and pussies like Betrans.

Murray

This could be a tough line up to score against. Its a fairly slow front court but lots of length to bother shots and play help defense.

The second team is also pretty decent.

Mills
Walker
Belinelli
Bertans
Gasol

They could easily unload 5 threes in under a minute.
