Poeltl started both seasons with us slow. He only came a block party about half way in
He had some passes down low that he missed point blank, and several turnovers throwing them out of bounds.

Joseph Poetle with an astonishing level of futility at the free throw line.
After tonight's 0-2 he's sitting at 3 for 15 for the year.
20% FT shooting.
This guy is approaching Demare Carroll levels of disastrous contract signing.
Poeltl is fking trash, he does nothing on the court, wtf happened, is he injured, did he physically decline all of a sudden
is there a Spurs player that deserves the contract money?
Tim Duncan was helping Poeltl last season, but it looks like that's all faded away now.
the problem is that Poeltl is a big thats useless in this new NBA, so if the Spurs didnt sign him he wouldnt be missed.
I'd be happy to miss free throws, not rebound and throw up soft shots for a third what they're paying Jakob! Sign me up, RC!!!!
love that post-extension decline in the level of play. Always happens after a contract year. Bust your ass to get better stats, get paid, plod through the next few seasons until the next contract year.
he's bad at playing basketball, it's that simple.
I thought he played pretty good. True he missed some shots he should've made and true is free throw shooting is bad, you can't airball a free throw. But I thought his defense was great. The Spurs played their best when he was on the court because they got stops and were able to get out in the open court. He needs to be able to contribute something on offense besides just good passing, but his defense was good, especially compared to LMA not being able to do anything on defense in the 4th. Poeltl shouldn've been playing in the 4th when we needed stops, but my guess is he didn't because of his free throw shooting.
I'll undercut you BillMc. I'll offer to play for a 100th of Poetle contract and promise to hit at least 3 out of 10 FTs for them.
Patty and Ilyasova have made themselves wealthy following this model
Still don't understand how any professional can miss more than half their FTs.
Ha! Yep, the job is yours. Can't be worse than Jakob and much more salary cap friendly!
if I had a player that said he doesnt even like playing basketball, he wouldnt be on the team. This is just lucky cause he's tall.
He has outperformed his contract. Just look at his advance stats. They are the #1 on the whole team. Poetl plays amazing defense. His offensive game has improved so much and he has shown that it will only continue to improve. Just watch when White gets back the dude will average 12 and 10 and 2 blocks a game.
The part that amazes me is that most of them barely reach the rim. WTF were the Spurs thinking bring back a plodding center in this era of basketball.
An absolute horrible contract for a spot playing backup center. The only upside is after this season theyre only two season left
Poeltl is a bum! Freaking lost all confidence. Like monstar losing basketball skills overnight.
I can't stand this guy. I don't care what the advanced stats say. I'd be able to hit 80%+ of my free throws at a fraction of the cost, and if I had his size, I'd also easily be just as good, if not a better defender and a superior rebounder. This guy got lucky with his size. And all those guys saying he needs White, that's not really what it should be based on. You can't be that co-dependent on another player to make you look like a competent NBA player. If a player can't perform without another player, then what good is that player, really? Looks like he's a mental weakling. His free throws tell the story. There is not even any fans in the building and he's shooting one of the worse free throw percentages in NBA history. Think about how shocking that is.
