Jordan Poole

The Warriors’ first-round pick, Jordan Poole, has struggled heavily at times this season. He wasn’t a player that was supposed to come in and produce at the highest level. That just wasn’t who he was supposed to be.

As the season progressed, the Warriors saw that. After a three-game stint in the G-League in which he averaged 26 points per game, Poole was recalled. And, it’s starting to pay off as he’s erupted over his last few games.

Poole has averaged double figures over his last four games, scoring 19 points and making three triples in a five-point loss to the Warriors. That said, the next few months will be Poole’s time to shine.
