Following 2016 potential draftees

My observations from watching Captain P'oetl were that his game mannerisms were more like Pau Gasol. A player not gifted with top 5 athleticism, but decent enough. A cerebral player who can play the high post or take you down low. Defensively capable. I could see him slipping in this draft given the current direction of the league.

We could use a back up 5 and he would fill.that role. But I would prefer Pau Gasol as a free agent at that spot... if we could snag Pau, I would not draft P'o'e'tl.

Great call on the Pau comp. He's def quicker than Pau but probably a little less explosive and doesn't seem to play as tall or have the same shot. Yet. But like you said, he's cerebral, seems to know angles, have moves like Gasol. I like the comp.

It really, really doesn't. People have botched his name all season. There is no "R" sound in Pöltl (his actual name).

It's kinda like.......Peuhltell. The "ö" sound doesn't have any analogous letter or sound in the English alphabet.

Bruh, Poetl has a YouTube video where he talks about his name, it rhymes with turtle.

He's not a stretch 5 but he has some range. We just didn't see him use it because he was so dominant in the post and didn't need to shoot from midrange.

He made a huge improvement on his ft **** this year. His recent workout videos show him shooting 3s. His form is kind of weird for a big man, a little low and out in front, but his one motion release will lend itself to extending his range.
