what is funny about it? Sabonis did man handle him in the tournament game.
Utes were the higher seed even and Sabonis put Zags on his back and go the Victory.. Eveyrone talks about how Sabonis is short and no wingspan well shouldn't that be a c concern for the other guy then, Since he struggled and got out played by the short wingspan and unathletic Sabonis? High BBAll IQ can take you a far way.

The entire Gonzaga team outplayed the entire Utah team, I wouldnt take away much other than the PAC-12 is a conference of teams that choke. Poetl however is a great player and probably the 3rd or 4th best player in the draft.
 
Poeltl's standing reach at 9'3.5" is the second highest in the draft. In NBA sets and better floor spacing his handle and mobility may give him more versatility than people expect. He's an interesting prospect.

I didn't really watch the Utes. What's his passing like?

I have no idea but he had 1.9 assists and 2.1 turnovers per game.
 
Biggest strength for Poeltl? Probably mobility, IQ and fundamentals. Not a flashy player, but does everything fairly well and rarely has a bad game.

He may be starting to get a bit underrated. There's nothing terribly exciting about his game to point to, but he could put up double doubles pretty much every night if given the opportunity. Feels a bit similar to Brook Lopez who slipped to 10 in the 2008 draft. Poeltl shot 64% on 2-pt shots last year and hit about 70% of his FTs against teams that were preparing for him most nights.

I like Marquese Chriss, but putting him top 4 or 5 in this draft is probably a bit much.

I wouldn't get out of control saying he's gonna get doube doubles most nights. He didn't even average 10 rebounds last year in 30 minutes of play.

Honestly, I think I like Deyonta Davis' upside and defensive ability more.
