His rookie season was pretty much the rookie season that was expected of him; decent rebounding, bad foul shooting, decent effort, lots of fouls. A pure post player offensively, Poeltl already looks wise defensively, who rotates well and steps up well for a big rookie. Poeltl needs to develop his skill level offensively beyond just being an offensive rebounder and That One Time He Dunked On The Break, beginning but not limited to developing a free throw stroke. But time is on his side, and so is that defensive IQ.
Player Plan: Three years of rookie scale salary left. Keep, especially for when Valanciunas departs.
