Jordan Poole

A player the Golden State Warriors need to consider parting ways with is Jordan Poole. In his game before being assigned to the team’s G-League affiliate, Poole put up double-digit points.

Given the last stretch of his rookie season as well, Poole should have some trade value. The rookie out of Michigan put up double figures in 12 of his last 13 games. The Warriors’ first-round pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Poole averaged 8.8 points per game as a rookie but failed to do it efficiently.

It would’ve been nice to see him take a step forward this season, but he’s far from being in the rotation with several shooting guards in front of him. It’seasily  the deepest position in the organization.

He’s thriving down in the G-League’s bubble, but he did that a season ago as well.

He’s at just 5.5 points per game in 15 games this season. Poole has potential as a scorer and shooter. Shooting over 42 percent from the field this season, the second-year 21-year-old should have some trade value given his age and potential upside.

Verdict: Trade
