6 years agoIn his preseason debut with the San Antonio Spurs, center Jakob Poeltl crashed the glass with success Sunday night against the Miami Heat. Poeltl grabbed 10 rebounds while contributing six points and a steal in 18 minutes. Poeltl was involved in the blockbuster trade this summer involving DeMar DeRozan and Kawhi Leonard and looks comfortable in his new role. With the aging Pau Gasol at the end of his career, Poeltl could find himself in an expanded role sooner rather than later. Poeltl will be a good source of rebounds and blocks if he can play more than 20 minutes per game.--Dale Johnson - RotoBaller
