Watched a lot of tape he has a great mid range game and a very high basketball IQ and a pretty damn good passer. Is a excellent backup for Gay don’t think they would be much drop off and add to Gay injury history almost makes perfect sense.
No need to look at "G league" , just look at portion of 2015 Rockets, he is the guy who can create his own shot, it depends on PG if he has enough skill to pass the ball inside, also Dmo not the lob kind of a guy , but his foot work in 3 sec zone was one of the best in NBA. He is high energy guy, at some times it looked like he rushed too much. But in my opinion he prefer fast speed BB. Very unselfish , and i think his passing ability is at TOP 10 in todays NBA comparing with other PF/C. As of defense/rebounding I think he will struggle, however , expect a lot of small guys getting rebounds and improving there stat sheet playing along Dmo. I he will see at-least a little bit of his opponent advantage getting rebound, he will box him out of it, and let his teammate feast on it. Very hard working guy, McKale was telling everyone that he thought he was living inside the building, he was literally first in and last-one out . In clutch expect to see 2-3 offensive falls committed on him, he is not afraid to sacrifice his body.As of IQ right now he is studying at university, he definitely sees his feature with basketball.

A backup for... Gay? What, exactly, the ? I know the NBA is supposedly positionless now, but dayum.
Thas a big ol' boy. Very cool exercise with the bar only loaded on one side. Mikalauskas is his strength and conditioning trainer in China. I wonder if he's staying in China, now that D-Mo is leaving?
Honestly is he getting spot minutes or just basically insurance? Then after which he goes back to China to fulfill his contract, right? Is there really reason to be excited about?
Something what he told Lithuanian media about his upcoming role with the Spurs: "I'm joining the Spurs to help them. They have a coach and team for this whole season. If they let me play - I'll play. If they don't - I'll support them and hope for the best.".
Also, he mentioned that he was in talks "with Nuggets and Raptors. All negotiations had caveats but the Spurs expressed that they truly want him. If the team like Spurs gives you an offer, you don't think - you agree."
Sounds bout right JohnB don’t really think he’s gonna play no system knowledge 5 more games left looks like Tmac signing couple years ago
I stayed up at nights in Europe to watch DMo play for 4 years, I saw basically every second of his NBA gameplay live. He has no place in the NBA. It was clear two years ago. He can't defend centers, he can't protect the rim, can't rebound (short arms, low vertical, weak lower body strength). He's deceivingly slow footed on defense. He can't shoot 3 reliably to compensate his defensive weaknesses. He is no longer a good post up player (used to be elite). He is atrocious from the line. If he misses a shot it gets into his head and he starts to play with emotions, make bad mistakes. He's my favorite player of all time.
What exactly are you trying to say here?
This sounds like a typical Spurstalk poster.
Man, sleep and subscribe to Leaguepass...a much healthier choice![]()
Health is overrated when our basketball is concerned.
That said, staying up until 5 AM and have the guys not show up is frustrating as .
I can tell you actually know what you're talking about. Unlike the dumbasses here that think he's a good shooter and rebounder. He's soft as baby . Praying we don't see him and Bertans on the floor together
Why the sarcasm? Wood is better than any big on this roster besides Aldridge.
17.5ppg, 7.5rpg, 2spg, 2bpg in only 24 minutes per game. You'd be fluffing RC's balls right about now if we had picked him up.
If you look at the larger sample of ALL of his NBA minutes and games, it's like 4p/2r per game. Nice cherry pick, though. I'm sure some believed it.
Jesus you're a really poster. I thought your Poeltl> Adams and Walker> Brogdon takes were embarrassing. ..
Before this stint in New Orleans, he was only getting garbage time minutes (314 minutes in 3 years). Good job leaving that out though, dumbass. I'm sure no one fell for it.
Oh, noooo. Our team is ruined!
If you look at Jakob Poeltl's 3,300+ minutes in 208 games, you'll see he averages 5pts/4reb yet some dumbass thinks he's better than Steven Adams because he's a Spur![]()
He looks in great shape. Would love to see him play. See what he can do. It can't hurt at this point.
Lmao. "he's my favorite player of all time". Nice touch
I never said he was better than Adams, I said his UPSIDE was higher. I'd expect such nuance to escape you, though. You're pretty much the village idiot...with a megaphone.
Do you realize Adams is only 25? At Jakob's age he was averaging a double double in the playoffs against Tim Duncan.
You're smoking RC's if you think their upsides are even close. Though I'm curious to hear your reasoning so I can have a nice laugh
You mean Timmy's final postseason series? I think it was the game Timmy realized his wheels fell off. OKC is always THE or one of THE most athletic teams every year. Jakob is showing a lot of potential though. When he plays for small minutes he is a havoc because he can defend and offensive rebound really well as well as diving to the rim with more finesse than most. He is our modern day center. Adams is still a hybrid old school tough center vs today's Capela type ballerinas that can still defend the rim well.
