Jakob Poeltl

[hater]

Hes a banger like a Najera without the dirty

[Ryoga]

He should get more minutes!

[BackHome]

One thing for sure he is not a starter but we need to improve our starting rotation and also our bench rotation.

and the players in the rotation

[Play Boban]

Poeltl has put together some fantastic games lately. It’s time to cht scrubby Cunningham tbh.

[Chinook]

Yeah, Jakob's been solid. If he can keep this up, then Gasol trades become possible again.

[SpursDynasty85]

Jakob looked good but the gaurds were doing great work for him tonight.

[Play Boban]

Play Poeltl..

a bright spot spot on a day of nightmares.

I follow now all the games of Jakob since he joined Utah several years ago. (i am obviously biased because he is the only fellow countryman in the NBA right now)

Some thougths that came to my mind over the last days:
When Pöltl played with the bench-mob in Toronto everything was clicking (i am talking 2nd year), mostly because they had a decent shot selection, and the guards (Delon, Fred and even Pascal) knew how the to pass the ball to the inside. (It puzzles me how bad the passes right to the feet are played from the spurs).
Anyway to my point: Jakob was interviewed several times in his time in Toronto and he allways said something i didnt really understand until now. He said, that the bench should bring "energy". Well of course they should, but now i realized something from even greater importance. And it starts with the Bench, literally. The Bench in Toronto was kinda like a Home-Crowd, even when the games were played away. They allways cheered, and where jumping onto their feet. I hardly see any of this with the Spurs. For the most part maybe because Dunkings and the 3-Ball Swishes aren't really in the arenal of the players, and obviously the lack of success. But its kinda frustrating that the players don't feast of one another.
Jakob's dunks were pretty rare in year 1, and increased dramatically in year 2. Now (maybe because he shouldn't??) he is back to his layups. They fall, but they are not bringing the energy to the builing/players.

Also i hate it, when Jakob is playing great/decent interior defense, and the outside is like completly unguarded.
I am not a Basketball-Pro but i really wonder what this "System" here in San Antonio is all about. The peremiter players allways cheat inside for no (trust??) reasons and the spot shooters can feast to their liking. Is this inteded, or how did this work in the previous years?

I'm with you. With White - Walker - Bertans - Metu - Poeltl the Spurs could have a similar "Bench-Mob". Just play them!

I'm hoping for a second Austrian: Luka looks best out of the actual College players. He could make it.

Yeah...this team is a good representation of how the Spurs historically have played defense and won 5 les.

[jermaine]

Purrrrtel is out here ballin his ass off

[UZER]

Oberto 2.0

[Seventyniner]

I'd rather him be Splitter 2.0.

[Indianman]

What?

I'm excited about Brimah playing with these guys some time in the future

[sasaint]

I'd rather him be Splitter 2.0.

He is more athletic than both Oberto and Tiago, and he goes to the basket aggressively on rolls and on offensive rebounds. Much higher ceiling.

[SpursDynasty85]

Poeltl was truly impressive tonight. Showed why Spurs traded for him.

[UZER]

I'd rather him be Splitter 2.0.

Not taking away from Splitter, he was good but soft around the basket. Oberto was not soft.

I was more referring to Oberto’s cutting and consistency around the basket.

[SAGirl]

Good development this season... I think less of Udoka praising Bryn so much and ignoring this development when asked about the surprises this season.

[Manufan909]

Splitter was killing it in 2015 on offense, and then he remembered he was made of glass. Poetl is an absolute beast, and this isn't even his final form. I hope Pop puts him back in the starting lineup soon. Just sub him out early so he can still back up LMA. Aldridge at 30 mpg is perfect, given his age. Gasol can just punt this season and collect a paycheck on the bench; I don't trust Pop to not cut Poetl's minutes in half when Pau gets back.

I think Poeltl returning to the SL would significantly hurt the spacing efficiency while improving the defense. Overall I doubt that would be a net positive unit.

[r0drig0lac]

he looks more and more like Splitter, where he almost always who is on court is positive doing the small things right
