How to play Poeltl NBPA

Guess a player
Type an NBA player's name.
Read green
Green is an exact match on that trait.
Read yellow
Yellow is close: a team they used to play for, one shared position, or height, age or number within 2.
Find him in eight
Use the clues, and the silhouette if you need it, to name the player.

Yellow rules

Team: the player was on that team before
Position: the player has at least one of those positions
Height, age and number: within 2 of the answer

Using the silhouette

The silhouette is a strong hint, so save it. Once you know the conference, position and rough height, a shape can confirm a player you already suspect. Using it first wastes it on a guess you could have made anyway.

Poeltl NBPA tips

Start with a player from a team in the middle of the league, so conference and division tell you a lot.
Yellow on team means the mystery player once played there. Think about trades.
Height and age within 2 narrows the list quickly. Use them together.
A yellow number means the real one is at most two away, which often settles it between two players.
