Jakob Poeltl is a dreadful pick at #9. just a big stiff and a bench guy, nothing more
I don't think he's terrible at all. He won't be a star, but he should be decent.
Poeltl is pretty nimble for his size ... I don't see any reason to think he won't be a good pro for a long time. He's not Bogut ... but he's not a stiff either.
Love the trade by OKC. Adams is their best big man and Oladipo is really good. Doesn't matter because they're irrelevant chokers but a nice move from Presti.

Tells me that they are trying to acquire assets to plan for life after Durant and Westbrook. If Durant was coming back, their best chance to win was going to be with Ibaka. But if you know Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka likely leaving, then you better start getting whatever you can Ibaka and possibly Westbrook if you can get a reasonable return for them.

They don't have a best chance, they have no chance. But they're better with Durant at the 4 and Adams is flatly better than Ibaka. This gives them an actual wing that isn't a joke.
I shouldn't have said stiff because he is mobile. I just don't think he's skilled and strong enough to justify a top 10 pick. he was good at Utah, but not great

Really good trade by OKC. Oladipo is another playmaker and supposedly is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. I'm not sure if that is true or just hype, but on paper, OKC fleeced the Magic.
Sabonis is an active hustle big who I could see doing well coming off the bench for OKC. You never know with young guys though.
Illeysova has fallen off the past few years, but he was a good player a few years ago for the Bucks.
