Areas To Improve

Now, of course, Poole is not a perfect player because no one is. Where I think Poole can really elevate his game is with his decision-making, shot selection, and defense. Poole in his nice stretch has also had multiple games with 5+ turnovers. While also sometimes taking questionable shots in hopes of getting hot. The defense has not been a glaring problem but for a score heavy guard, I think there is always room to improve on that end.

The Young Core

Nonetheless, the future in The Bay is bright once again. The emergence of Jordan Poole combined with the recent success of nineteen-year-old Kumminga and Moses Moody. Hopefully to go along with former number 2 pick James Wiseman.

There is no doubt that this group is one of the better young cores in the NBA. However, can these young guys help in a playoff run? Even Poole himself has seen very little postseason experience. Andre Iguodala has been made some comments about what he thinks regarding looking to the future while also trying to still compete for championships.
