San Antonio Spurs: 3 Players that disappointed this season

#3 Jakob Poeltl

Jakob Poeltl was selected 9th overall by the Raptors back in 2016.

Amidst the controversy of him setting illegal screens - one of which resulted in Jamal Murray aggravating his thigh injury in round 1 of the playoffs - Poeltl has been in the news for all things negative lately.

He played 77 games for the Spurs this season (started in 24 of them) and averaged just 5.5 points per game, a step down from his season-high scoring average with the Raptors last year. The 7-foot center from Austria played over 16 minutes per game for the silver and black and pulled down 5.3 boards with a miserable 53% conversion from the foul-line.

He did play extended minutes in the postseason and averaged 7.3 points and 7.7 rebounds along the seven game series. He has proven to be influential at times but his production still remains a cause of concern for the franchise going forward.
