"Watched Poirier play in Paris in ‘16 really liked the level of activity & smoothness he plays with for a 7’ rim runner. Has nice feel on PnR, knows how to mix up screen angles & roll timing. Plus he has a solid 15’ spot up & defends the pivot well. Complements Kanter’s strengths."

Can he MAKE free throws ?

From the highlights I watched it looks like he can get up and down the floor, catch lobs of the roll and dunk, and block shots at the rim.  That's probably all you need in a backup center who may get 10-15 min a game, max.

I actually expect to see a lot of Theis next year if he resigns, which I hope he does.

70 plus percent regular season. 85% in playoffs.  Decent for a big man.

Yeah - what’s the thinking on Theis’ lack of progress last season. I thought he was going to be an asset after Year 1 but he showed nothing after returning.

Theis lack of progress is that he is being played out of position and possibly injury.  Theis is a PF in the NBA.  The C’s are trying to play him as a small ball center.  Stop with the madness already.  He is 6-8 and a little bit.  Play him where he can excel at PF.

He has the physical tools I guess. My only problem is that wasn't even doing that well in Europe, stat wise at least. He's 25 how much growth is left in his game.

TP and welcome to the forum. At least Vincent knows how to roll to the basket, that's a plus. Shame we won't see him for summer league.

I'm very excited about this young man. He seems to have a great motor and great physical tools as well.
