Strengths:
Poeltl's intrigue at the next level starts with his impressive combination of size and athleticism, he's a fluid athlete with better mobility than most players his size. As a scorer, he can finish with both hands and his soft touch gives his offensive game some real intrigue He made massive strides as a free throw shooter last season, upping his percentage from a dismal 43% to a very serviceable 69% as a sophomore. Has pretty good rebounding instincts and high motor which help him on both backboards. His post defense is very stout and he does a good job of forcing his man into taking difficult shots.
Weaknesses:
Though he’s still developing a real post-game, it remains a question if he’ll ever become a real offensive threat which could keep him from becoming a high-level center. While he is really good at bodying people up and blocking shots on ball, he needs to learn how to contest shots coming from help side. At this point his skills as a rim protector are underdeveloped, and it may never be a strength to his game. He still needs to add some strength, but he has an excellent frame to carry weight.
