The Spurs are learning how to use Jakob Poeltl

Jakob Poeltl’s first month as a Spur has not been stellar. Having only appeared in 10 of their first 14 games, and averaging just 11.2 minutes per contest, he’s had little impact on the team’s performance. Unfortunately, the little he has had has been negative. He’s got the 3rd worst net rating differential on the team, and is -17 in his 112 minutes. He’s also shooting less than 40% from the restricted area, somehow, which ought to be impossible for a 7-footer.

There are signs he’s coming along, though, and a couple of plays at the end of the 1st quarter and beginning of the 2nd showed his progress on the offensive end.
