10. Milwaukee Bucks: Jakob Poeltl

The Milwaukee Bucks were another major let down of the 2015-16 NBA season. After fighting their way to a 6th seed a season ago, here we are with them in the midst of the lottery picture. They desperately need to right the ship this offseason, and size on the interior will definitely be a major help for a team who struggled to defend the paint and rebound.

Enter Jakob Poeltl, a Power Forward/Center out of Utah. He has the potential to be a solid starter in this league at some point in time, in the immediate future however he has the right skill set to help the Bucks get the job done inside.

Poeltl’s skill extends to the offensive end as well, as he is more than capable of scoring from the post and his rebounding prowess will certainly open him up for a lot of easy buckets off of put backs. The Bucks don’t need an over the top scorer by any means, their current core needs as many shots as possible in order to develop further. Poeltl fills an immediate need, and doesn’t need a lot of touches in their offense in order to be effective.
