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.

He's a fellow German? **** it. Poeltl or bust. (raises his extended arm and hand)
 
Lol.

I'm not exactly a utah fan but Poeltl is a far superior prospect than Trey Lyles. Yet most here seem pretty optimistic about him.

Poeltl is bigger, more athletic, more polished, and has better defensive movement. To me, Poeltl would be a great stretch 5. Much like Memo Okur became.

Stretch 5? Have you seen him play? Did you watch the highlights?
 
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.

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.

Can u post a link to this workout? It's rare to see him shoot jumpers. I know he can do it, just haven't really seen it. If he in fact can hit three's, Holy ****!! Trade up and draft that son of a beautiful bitch!!

Thanks. Watching that vid makes me want him more. It would be interesting to see him compete with Gobert over the next few years, see if he can pass the stifle tower. He's not a great rim protector, but he's not awful. He'd still be a tough post defender and help defender with plenty of offense. Not ready to say he will be good outside till I see it translate in actual NBA games.

If he falls to the Jazz, u thank god, draft him, then laugh at all the teams, and clown them for passing on him. Just a few days ago, I thought he was for sure a top 7 pick, but everything I here on jazzfanz has me excited he could actually be available for the Jazz.
