Jordan Poole

One Golden State Warrior that really turned it on later in the season was Jordan Poole.

The team’s first-round draft pick in 2019, Poole was assigned to the team’s G-League affiliate after a tough start to the season. He blossomed there, but there was really no telling if he’d be ready to be productive at the sport’s highest level.

Poole scored in double figures 12 of his last 13 games leading up to the league’s suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic. It wasn’t just his scoring, but the fact that Poole was scoring efficiently, nearing 50% from the field during that stretch.

Turning in a true playmaker for the team’s offense, Poole scored in the single digits in the seven games leading up to that stretch. However, he’s certainly already shown the potential needed to keep his spot on the roster.

Now, all the Warriors need is consistency. We’ve seen enough to keep him in good favor with the coaching staff, but in the NBA, just a few bad months could change all that.
