He is on a tear, had another great game today vs Temple. His interior defense was good last year, but now he has a refined post game, losing Delon Wright has not slowed him down at all.

What is his draft ceiling? Top 5? Top 3? Which Center looks better than him right now? Which Big?

i say 7 to 15th,depends on who comes out.he seems to have worked on his post moves.he’s already the best defensive player in college ball.
as far as top center,some teams might view skal as a center.zimmerman the 7 foot freshman from unlv is almost averaging a double double might.he not be the defensive player poetl.but i think he has a higher upside.

I made a bold prediction that he would be a top 5 pick in this draft and I stick with it.

He’s improved a ton. He’s very good and more active on defense now more than ever.
Top 8 pick in my opinion.

Weak class for the Center position, he will benefit from that

He’s outplaying all of the other Centers, but I still don’t think he’s the top C prospect. I think Skal is a better prospect because he has so many more dimensions to his game. Like Rudeboy says, Zimmerman is probably a higher upside player as well due to his versatility and stroke, but Poeltl should be a lottery pick for sure and is probably a bit safer of a pick (I don’t think he’s a top 5 though).

I say he goes top 5. If Celtics can’t get one of Simmons, Brown, Ingram, or Skal than I 100% rxpect them to take Poeltl with the Nets pick, assuming it’s top 8
