Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan were obviously the headlining pieces of the San Antonio Spurs’ blockbuster trade with Toronto, and both have performed well so far this season.
Danny Green has also gotten off to a good start with his new team, but Jakob Poeltl is not enjoying similar success in his new home.
The 23-year-old center, who showed plenty of promise with the Raptors began the season as the starting center in San Antonio, has often looked lost on the court which has caused him to fall out of the rotation.
After not playing a single second in three out of four games and only getting garbage time minutes against the Suns and Pelicans, Poeltl finally got some meaningful playing time against the Magic.
