Don´t really see the Valanciunas comparisation.
Does this really require discussion? You really can’t see the comparison? The comparison is they are both monstrous human beings. If one is better than the other, is it not appropriate to call the lesser a poor man’s version of the better? You quote D-RPM, but neglect that Poeltl is the 58th ranked center in O-RPM and 39 spots behind JV in overall RPM. Lebron, VORP, BPM Win Score and 82games.com’s Simple Rating all agree JV is the better overall player.
I like Poeltl. In fact, his D is why I complemented his fit with LM. But, who is a better comparison to Poeltl than another similarly sized white plodding European center.
