5. Jordan Poole

After signing a huge contract extension last summer, there was a ton of pressure on the shoulders of Jordan Poole this season. Admittedly, Poole has had his struggles this season. He’s been inconsistent for much of the year, especially in the playoffs. After averaging 20 points and five assists per game on 43 percent shooting from the field and 34 percent shooting from three-point range during the regular season, Poole has only averaged 11 points and four assists on 34 percent shooting from the field and 27 percent shooting from 3-point range during the postseason.

And you can’t help but wonder how much that will end up impacting Poole’s overall trade value heading into the offseason. Even though it would be unlikely for the Warriors to trade him, the option and possibility could be there for the team this offseason. Especially if they need to find ways to cut salaries to pay the likes of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

Poole is still 23-years-old and the hope would be that the best basketball of his career is still very much in front of him. However, with how inconsistent he’s been recently, that can’t really be assumed.

Still, you’d have to imagine that he does have a fair amount of trade value for the Warriors.
