2016 NBA Draft - Brew Hoop Community Draft Board - Can Jakob Pöltl keep the 5 alive?

True to the mantra of General Manager John Hammond, who has always said to "draft for talent, trade for need," Brew Hoop readers have left largely unaddressed the Bucks' two big positional shortcomings: point guard and center. The highest-ranked true PG on our 2016 Draft Board is Kris Dunn at #7, and now at #9 we get our first true center: Jakob Pöltl - C, Utah.

Set to become the first Austrian-born player to break into the NBA, Pöltl's ascent to potential top-10 pick is thanks to a sophomore season that saw marked improvement in almost every facet of his game.
