    No it is quiet were it is. You forget that centers need more time to develop. I dont see much upside in Siakam and Anunoby. Yes they are playing good, but i dont see that they will become much better.
    I wanted either Siakam or Anunoby instead of Poeltl. I'd still take Siakam over Poeltl easily. He's a damn good combo forward prospect who will probably be an All-Star within three seasons (especially if Nephew leaves).

    Anunoby, though, hasn't made much progress in his sop re season. Still looks like he could be an elite 3-and-D player with First Team All-Defensive upside but there are some red flags (he's 7-for-24 from the free throw line this season and his basketball IQ is questionable at best).

    Right now, Siakam is the best prospect of the three. Poeltl vs Anunoby is closer. I'd go with Poeltl now because Anunoby hasn't shown much growth, suddenly can't shoot free throws and his injury history (torn ACL) negates the fact that he's a couple years younger.

    OG has been pretty terrible, he's one of the most overrated prospects in the league IMO..Kawhi being drafted in the teens as a long defender with potential and eventually becoming a superstar has changed the expectations of that type of player to an unrealistic level..

    Every Anunoby, Stanley Johnson, Justice Winslow, etc is projected to have Kawhi potential now..it just isn't realistic..

    Siakam >>> Yak, though..

    Big Upside and undervalued. Best Defender on the Spurs. Suffers from beeing a quiet player in a sense that he is not visible for fans, but does much. In long term, [b]a better player than siakam or anunoby[b/] and does fit better with spurs than those 2.

    He is efficent in scoring, but needs to learn to be more aggressive. I beleive he could be a threat in the paint, which could suck the defense in and open up 3P Shooters.
    He doesn't have big hair or wears shorter shorts, so no he's not better.

    Come on really, you want to dispute the fact that big guys need longer to establish themselves?

    Has made Gasol irrelevant.
    Yeah, I wonder what happens to the rotation when he comes back. Do they cut Aldridge's minutes? Or Jakob's?

    Do they play Aldridge and Gasol together like last year for the high-low?

    Then, what happens when Walker finally starts playing? Who goes away or back to the G-League just to get him playing time? Eubanks, I'm sure but could Pondexter or Cunningham be shipped out due to position overload?

    I think it's a good problem to have but PATFO has some serious decisions to make.

    Walker's return and Gasol's return are really difficult to sort in how they could totally throw wrenches into the rotations.

    So you see no connection between Poeltl emerging and beeing the best Defender on the Spurs squad, Bertrans and others Raining 3s out of his Screens and the turnaround in December?
    I dont say that he alone is responsible for the Winning streak, but to say that he is not able to make a difference, painfully shows that you havent watch a game of the spurs for the last 3 Weeks.
    Or you just like to be a grinch.

    He also said Spurs can't ring unless they tank for a lottery draft pick. Clearly doesn't have a clue about basketball

    If the Warriors are beatable, eight to ten teams become contenders.

    Good pick up at a position of need. Serviceable big man in mode of Splitter are always good to find. Will be interesting to see what spurs do with Multinov now.

    Jakob is an improving young player. I like the comparison to Splitter without the endless health issues. He is certainly someone who could be a SA a long time.

    Sounds like Gasol is coming back soon.

    I thought he was farther away.

    They might, but if he doesn't at least get the big haircut and the shorter shorts, what kind of modern day future could you expect from him?

    I’m thrilled with him. Can’t control the trade any longer and have to hope for the best. He’s made very positive strides and has room to grow after proving he’s 100% an nba rotational player.

    He's close to a starting calibre Center IMO, now that he's got his fouling under control. An elite defensive big who can finish PnR's & is a decent passer when help comes as he rolls to the hoop.

    OG not having a good season . . . Poeltl is making this trade look better, tbh.

    Maybe just maybe PATFO is smarter than all you guys and wanted Poetl in trade instead of OG or Siakim. Ever think of that?

    Pop always wanted to relive the Twin White Towers era of Bonner and Splitter so now he has Davis and Poeltl

    There’s limited unicorns and they are stars. I don’t think he will be a star but doesn’t need to be. A modern day center can be one like him, Capella, Willie Cauley Stein, a favorite of mine and a real beast is OKC center Steven Adams. So long as they keep up with the fast pace of the game and don’t demand post touches. Skill around the basket is pretty much a requirement but it’s different in my mind than demanding a slow pace and post heavy game. That’s the old school to me. It’s subjective obviously.
    Pretty much sums it up! In my opinion, if he were "able to shoot 3" he would be called stretch five, not modern day center.
