Toronto Raptors' Jakob Poeltl making his presence felt early despite big learning curve Via Mike_Ganter
And it proves to be even better in the third when the Raptors host the Orlando Magic, a team that used its superior size to sweep a two-game series in December against the Raptors.
In his 42 minutes through two games, Poeltl has a defensive rating of 99 which is far and away the best mark on the team. Granted it is also a very small sample size but the feeling is Poeltl is only going to improve on those numbers once he gets a firm grasp of the schemes.Article content “Defensively, and I’ve spoken about this before, kind of going from a sit back, passive type defence like being very careful and not giving up fouls to a very aggressive style defence, trying to force turnovers. Maybe making a couple fewer solid plays but trying to be aggressive and forcing opponents to make mistakes,” Poeltl said.
Again, this is all a very early days scenario. Things are likely to change for him on both ends of the floor, almost definitely on the defensive end once O.G. Anunoby returns from injury, but it’s fair to say the comfort level is already coming very quickly which should make things better for everyone wearing the Raptors’ logo.The Raptors added two more to the injured list Monday morning with Gary Trent Jr.
