Poeltl is 4th all time on FG% and shooting ~73% from within 3 feet. He might not be the right target for other reasons but he's a great roll man.

Yak can't jump.

You definitely don't watch Toronto at all.

I have watched a tonne of Yak. He's a nice starting 5. He is not the modern rim roller you want next to Luka, which is a Tyson Chandler/Lively type. Yak lacks quickness and hops. He's good despite all that, but a weak fit.

He's above average athletic and strength wise.

I mean, that's not a negation of anything I said. There are some teams he'd be a solid fit on, as a bigger 5 who you can throw at Jokic. He'd be fine on OKC instead of Hartenstein for eg, though in some playoff match ups he'd go to the bench.
