On playing for coach Gregg Popovich. Jakob Poeltl: “I was really excited about that, when I found out I was going to play for the Spurs, to get a chance to play for Pop. I think over the past few years I’ve really learned a lot from him about the mental side of basketball and how to approach the game. He’s really taught me that, in that aspect. Besides that, he’s a really good guy. He’s a guy you can talk to and joke around with. I really enjoy having him as my coach.”
