2024 Fantasy Outlook
Poeltl has always been one of the most underrated centers in the NBA, but he had an injury-riddled 2023-24 campaign. The big man missed time early due to a leg issue and was sidelined for the final month due to a finger injury. That's unfortunate because he averaged 12.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 blocks on 60 percent shooting in his final 13 games before the finger issue. We also saw Poeltl play at least 66 games in the six years prior, so we have to call last season a fluke from an injury standpoint. Over the last three years, Poeltl has averaged 12.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 blocks on 63 percent shooting. That's the progression we want to see from a blossoming center, and he should continue to start for the Raptors next season. He also might get a bump with Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby leaving over the last year because the Raptors are clearly in rebuild mode. The only other center on the roster is Kelly Olynyk, but that should still guarantee Poeltl 25-30 minutes a night. There aren't many traditional centers left in the NBA, but Poeltl should be an excellent source of rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage in 2024-25. Read Past Outlooks

Originally drafted by the Raptors ninth overall in the 2016 NBA Draft, two spots ahead of Domantas Sabonis, Poeltl wasn't able to put together that kind of All-Star career after being sent to the Spurs a couple years later in the Kawhi Leonard trade. The 27-year-old center did break out as a dependable asset at both ends of the court in 2021-22, however, and he got shipped back to Toronto at last season's trade deadline when San Antonio decided it didn't want to sign him to a long-term extension. The Raptors had no such qualms, locking him up with a four-year, $80 million contract in June. While his offensive skill set is somewhat limited, and he can be a liability at the free-throw line, Poeltl has averaged better than 12 points, nine rebounds and a block in four straight campaigns while shooting at least 61 percent from the field. He also has a reputation as a strong passer, although his usage has been such that his career high in assists is just 2.8 per game, set in 2021-22. Poeltl won't suddenly become Nikola Jokic, but the Raptors will head into next season lacking a true point guard, with Dennis Schroder replacing Fred VanVleet. Plus, new coach Darko Rajakovic's system figures to emphasize ball movement over the isolation sets that the Raptors employed too often last year. Poeltl could benefit from that change and add a few more dimes to his otherwise steady production.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Not included in trade talks
Poeltl was not included in trade talks for Kevin Durant, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Scotto also reports that there's a "strong expectation the organization will look to extend him." Poeltl averaged a career-high 14.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game for Toronto in 2024-25 with 2.8 assists and 1.2 blocks across 57 regular-season appearances. Staying put would be ideal for his fantasy value, as he produced fourth-round value in nine-category formats on a per-game basis.
