BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues
ANALYSIS: With LaMarcus Aldridge out since the end of Feb. 1 game against Memphis, it's been all Jakob Poeltl at the center spot for the Spurs. Is he the future of the team at the position? Hard to know yet, but the 25-year-old is doing as much as we can ask for him in this small run of starts that now has five such games to his name.
Poeltl started for the first time this season in late-2020/early-2021, but that was it for him until Aldridge went down a couple of weeks ago. In his five starts, though, Poeltl has thrived while topping 30 minutes only once. That means, yes, that Poeltl hasn't needed long runs to rack up numbers. He has two dub-dubs in those five games and finished two other of those five matches with 19-8 and 2-11 lines. Not bad, indeed.
While Poeltl has performed at average levels on a per-minute basis on the season (0.92 FP/min), he's putting up 1.02 points since Jan. 14 and an even better 1.08 in the past two weeks. Poeltl has scored 36+ FP in three of the four games he's played 28+ minutes lately, and as he doesn't stretch the floor at all he sustains an incredible 68.5 FG% on 5.5 FGA while averaging a massive 2.1 BPG since Jan. 12 (he has swatted 3+ shots in four of his last 7 games).
