I keep reading that hopefully these guys will be patient and wait their turn - screw that - I want an X type that comes in and ask which one of you jokers is willing to watch me from the bench and works hard enough to beat out the next guy up the ladder. I hope this guy pushes Mo to the point that it makes Mo get better.
This guy reminds me a little of Tim Duncan.
Good Job ! HCIB - this was the guy that we've been missing for the last 10 years

It appears that Mo and Pohto have two different skill sets. Mo is more of down low bruiser and Pohto is more of a player that can pull the defender out and fit in the gaps. They could be very complimentary of each other depending on matchups.

I like big men... I watched one hudl video, but it looked like he was just jacking up 3's the entire time. Anything showing his vertical or propensity for finishing inside 6 feet without the ball hitting the floor? I prefer aggression and knuckles that drag the floor.

I was thinking more like 10 games not 10 hours. However, I did share your observation of the footage. It’s a lot of pick and pop threes, some nice passes, a few back to the basket hooks over left shoulder, and almost no dribbling. Oh, and zero rebounds or blocks.
Someone posted a link to a detailed scouting report and it doesn’t sound like leaping or shot blocking is Pohto’s strong suit. And I think that’s ok.
We have another 6’10 kid, Matt McFarlane, who seems to have more springy athleticism and rim protecting ability.
Besides, Pohto is 6’11 so he doesn’t need to have the worlds greatest vertical to be an inside presence. Rosenboom can help him max out his potential in that area. From the sounds of it he is a high BBIQ/fundamental player who moves his feet well for such a big body and therefore should be able to play good pick and roll defense. And, although he doesn’t block a ton of shots, it sounds like he is good at maintaining verticality and forcing a shot over a tall defender without fouling.
His offensive post game sounds like it’s still a WIP. He at least has one decent move down there which given his height and ability to step out and knock down threes should be enough to keep defenses honest. Oh, and he’s supposed to be a great passer. I’m imagining some shades Krutwig as he develops.
All in all I think both of the bigs we recruited, Pohto and McFarlane, should be able to contribute and improve upon their predecessors from day 1 and have a ton of potential in the next 3-4 years.Last edited by pie n eye; May 5, 2021, 12:03 PM.
