Jakob Poeltl will in all likelihood declare for the NBA draft before the April 24th deadline. After two excellent seasons at the University of Utah, the 7-1, 242 lb. center is one of the most coveted players heading into the draft, and for good reason. Poeltl served as the backbone for a resurgent Utah team over the past two seasons, serving as a steady presence in the middle for a program beginning to re-establish itself in the national conscience. Poeltl's unique blend of size and skill will undoubtedly earn him a nice paycheck in the NBA, but the question of where he will land and how successful he'll be remains to be answered.
