Sophomore center Jakob Poeltl will hold a press conference on Wednesday morning at the Utah basketball facility where it is expected he will announce his decision to enter into the NBA Draft.
A 7-foot center from Vienna, Austria, who came to the Utes as a intriguing if unfamiliar prospect, is graded as a lottery pick in this year's draft, according to Draft Express and ESPN. He is positioned to be the first-ever NBA player from his native country.
After his freshman season, Poeltl flirted with the idea of going one-and-done to the NBA. Fortunately for the Utes, he came back.
