Poeltl Says He'll Only Get Better

[TDMVPDPOY]

taller david lee when he was here, move to ur spots clean up the boards and easy baskets

he needs to have a jumpshot like blazers bigmen leonard, doesnt have to be accurate, but hit them when his open...

He has potential for development. I'd like to see him work on offensive footwork with someone like Kevin McHale. He is actually pretty quick for a 7 footer and could get a lot more shots if he was looking for them in the paint more instead of passing off.
Personally, I like the at ude about playing dirty. "If they call me on a moving screen, I'll learn. Otherwise I'll continue to play as is."

Looks like a potential Steve Adams from OKC to me.

lol if he could put 10-20 pounds of muscle on the next couple of years I'd be ecstatic.

If he could grow to 7’3” 350 that would be great tbh

The guy is 23 years old, 7 feet tall, and 230 pounds. Why is it that farfetched that he puts on weight. That's the difference between him and Steven Adams who is built like a brick house

He said in the other interview that right after the playoff loss he's still in the gym, especially in the weight room. So it looks like that's the plan. Next season will also be his contract year, so I expect to see improvements

Bigs are really dependent on the PG for easy point just look at Capela in Houston Chris Paul sets him up and feeds him easy dunks. Him and White should be playing more minutes together and Pop needs to run more back door Kobe screens to get him easy dunks.

Exactly. Poeltl off the bench with Manu would have been fun.

He has to develop some post moves and somehow increase his bball IQ by not commiting stupid fouls for no apparent reason. People think i was hater in regards to him but why should i be, i want him to succeed but i don't see it. He's a very old fashioned big and the only way to become something is to develop some semblance of a post move, a skyhook, something.

That's nice to hear, he is a fine young big, mobile, etc but are there really that many more levels he can bring his game too? I guess T.D could try and mentor him more about positional defense and whatever instinctual that came natural to him but I doubt he will pull a Dedmon and start shooting 3's and .
