Utah Basketball: Jakob Poeltl invited to NBA Draft Combine

Former Utah big man Jakob Poeltl is beginning his path toward the NBA Draft, which will happen in June. The big guy, whom many consider as a top 10 pick in the upcoming draft, has some opportunities to improve his draft stock even more. Jakob will have opportunities to show teams that his soft touch around the rim, his elite footwork, and his ability to improve (see his free throws) will be a major asset to any team that decides to pick him.
