His confidence in taking open shots, he’s really long and athletic, so he’s good on the defensive end as well,” Poole said. “All of our young guys have been coming along really well. I’m excited.”</p><p>George has made an impact in all three preseason games, totaling 31 points on 61.1% shooting with 11 rebounds, seven assists, six steals, and three blocks across 64 total minutes. The 2024 second-round draft pick is also 7-of-11 from long range. If he plays like this into the regular season, he could be one of the steals of the draft.</p><p>Poole also praised Kispert.</p><p>“I love Corey’s game. I love playing with Corey, he plays hard. Elite shooter, high-level shooter, so he can space the floor, but he also makes the right plays,” Poole said. “I think his athleticism is also underrated as well. He’s strong, he can get to the basket read coverages.”</p><p>After a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-fans-chill-corey-kispert-is-supposed-to-be-bad-at-nba-summer-league">quiet outing in the preseason opener, Kispert</a> scored 34 points on 12-of-20 shooting across the last two contests. The Gonzaga alum was 4-of-7 from deep against the Toronto Raptors on Friday, showing what can happen once he gets in a rhythm.</p><p>“Trying to get him going as early as possible just because it opens up so much for us over the course of the game, so trying to continue to get Corey to play how he’s been playing,” Poole continued.</p><p>A dialed-in Kispert will inevitably space the floor for a Washington squad that has a more cohesive plan this year than in seasons past. With Poole as the permanent point guard, the former Golden State Warrior could use another reliable outside shooter alongside him as he facilitates the offense. Spreading the ball and avoiding isolation-heavy sequences will make the Wizards harder to defend, but that only works if several players are constantly shooting well.</p><p>Poole, though, is also looking inward as he starts his second season in the nation’s capital.</p><h2><b>Jordan Poole defines his Wizards goals</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Jordan-Poole-dribbles-basketball.jpg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Poole admitted that “Point Poole” is still a work in progress when discussing his goals for the upcoming season.</p><p>“Getting more comfortable in the offense, gotta get guys in the right positions, figuring out the pace we can play at,” Poole said. “Just a learning process, overall in general just finding ways to play.”</p><p>With the additions of George, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Jonas Valanciunas, and the injured Malcolm Brogdon, there are plenty of new cooks in the kitchen for Poole to work with. The remaining preseason games will be crucial towards figuring out the offensive pecking order as the 2022 NBA champion tries to find himself as a facilitator.</p><p>Poole came into the league as a shooting guard on a Warriors roster with the likes of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Back then, the Michigan alum was a role player on Curry’s offense, a hot-and-cold scorer who rarely had the controls. Now, he’s a main character on a young Wizards team that needs his leadership.</p><p>Poole acknowledged that <a href="https://x.com/joshvaldez100/status/1845905151816528041" rel="noopener">there’s a learning curve</a> as he adjusts to his new situation.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="qme"> <a href="https://t.co/JRDS3scYcS">pic.twitter.com/JRDS3scYcS</a></p><p>— Joshua Valdez (@joshvaldez100) <a href="https://twitter.com/joshvaldez100/status/1845905151816528041?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 14, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“Trying to keep speeding up my process. I feel like I sped it up already up until this point, so nothing’s changed, keep working,” Poole explained. “In moments like this where you’re playing a different position, new offenses, playing with new players with different skillsets, you’re learning so much about yourself as well as just the game in general, so getting through all of this in training camp and finding ways to grow my game.”</p><p>Poole was benched in February after a rocky start to his Wizards tenure, but he regained his mojo once he came off the bench and switched to point guard full-time, continuing to play well once re-entering the starting lineup.</p><p>The trials and tribulations of last season’s 15-67 campaign helped head coach Brian Keefe and company figure out that “Point Poole” is the best plan of action for the team offensively. Poole’s quickness and dribbling skills give Washington a reliable foundation as its young players continue to grow, and he’ll inevitably develop as a passer the more he plays the position as well.</p><p>If Poole can consistently get open looks for Bilal Coulibaly and the rookies, he’ll be one of the franchise’s most valuable players in years.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Coming to a brand new team, to a place he’d never been before, you’re asked to do a host of different things, and maybe he didn’t have that role or responsibility with the Warriors.”</p><p>“It felt like he was juggling a lot of different stuff, and this year he just feels comfortable, he feels calm, he feels secure in who he is and the kind of player he wants to be for us, and he’s had a year to kick the tires on his role on this team,” Kispert continued. “It feels to me like he’s coming in to be more of a leader.”</p><p>With young talents like Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, and Bub Carrington slated to get significant minutes, this season is about development and long-term planning for the Wizards. If Poole meshes well with that group, he could stick around for good. On the other hand, it will complicate things if the 6-foot-4, 194-pounder starts the season like he did last year.</p><p>With new veterans like Jonas Valanciunas and Malcolm Brogdon joining the fold, though, Poole will have more experienced teammates to lean on should trouble arise.

Green, known for his passion and volatility, has been a key player for the Warriors throughout their dynasty run. However, this altercation with Poole, a young rising star, marked a turning point in team dynamics.</p><p>Poole, who had been instrumental in the Warriors’ 2022 NBA championship victory, struggled throughout the 2022-2023 season following the incident. His confidence appeared shaken, and his performance on the court became inconsistent.

Poole, who had been seen as a cornerstone for the franchise’s future, was swapped for veteran point guard Chris Paul.

As Steve Kerr and the team move forward, the ripples of that moment continue to shape their path as they attempt to return to the top of the NBA.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As expected, the punch ruined team chemistry to the extent that the team decided to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-wizards-jordan-poole-chris-paul-trade-grades">trade Poole to the Wizards</a> in exchange for an aging Chris Paul.

Always take care of school but always have fun. Basketball is a super fun sport so keep working and make sure you have a good time,” Poole said.

Meanwhile, when Klay Thompson went down for the entire 2020-2021 season, Poole saw his chance and filled the role of guard scorer for the team.</p><p>As a shoot-first guard, Jordan Poole improved further in <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/jordan-poole-stats-with-the-warriors-2022" rel="noopener">his breakout season</a> of 2021-2022, where he averaged 18.5 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.4 rebounds on shooting splits of 44.8% from the field and 36.4% from three.

Poole’s terrific playoffs should have added him to the core of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, but the punch happened, which may have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-ex-bucks-star-gets-brutally-honest-when-dubs-dynasty-really-ended">effectively ended the Warriors dynasty,</a> leading to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-dallas-completes-klay-thompson-acquisition-in-historic-6-team-trade">Klay’s departure for the Dallas Mavericks</a>.</p><p>After the trade, the two-guard still thrived as the primary scorer on a bad team, but he had to get used to getting most of the defensive attention. His shooting splits dropped to a decent 41.3% from the field and 32.6% from three-point land.</p><p>The high-scoring Jordan Poole might not have the same juice as Curry to lead the Wizards to the postseason, but has already proven himself as a valuable asset who could provide value to any team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They decided to run it back in 2022 to 2023. But, chemistry got worse as well as the results that came with it. A key departure from the Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr-led squad was budding young star Jordan Poole. His conflict with Draymond Green along with the sour relationship he developed with some other members of the organization caused him to get traded to the Washington Wizards. This was the same package that brought the Dubs someone named Chris Paul.</p><p>Up until now, a great what-if in the minds of Warriors fans was if Jordan Poole developed better chemistry with the rest of the Warriors. Obviously, the biggest turning point in the middle of all this was the incident between <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-green-reveals-key-golden-state-bouncing-back-2024-25-campaign">him and Draymond Green</a> during practice. A little over a year after the trade to the Wizards, the forward finally got to outline what was on his mind during their <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1800280383277113503" rel="noopener">time in</a> the Warriors system, via The Draymond Green Show.</p><blockquote>“I was so embarrassed to be around our team last year with [Jordan Poole] still on the [Warriors]. I was probably late last season 20 times and I just paid a fine. Because, I was so embarrassed to show my face at that time that I would start timing everything. If we’re on the road, I’d time it up to the minute that I’d need to get there. If the elevator took a little bit longer than it was supposed to, I’d be late,” Draymond Green said.</blockquote><p>Elevators were not the only problem that Green encountered throughout this time. He also had some issues with red lights. In the past season, he was back to his old ways of being diligent when it came to practice. That shame dissipated because Poole was no longer with them. In fact, Poole and Green have only seen each other on the court one time since the former got traded to the Wizards. It was their February 27th matchup and it saw the Warriors come out on top.</p><h2><b>Two struggling roads after the big Warriors incident</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Golden-State-Warriors-guard-Jordan-Poole-3-and-forward-Draymond-Green.jpg"><figcaption>© John Hefti-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Poole got to play his desired role with the Wizards after departing from the Stephen Curry-led team. He got to chuck up shots and play hero ball. It was largely without much consequences because the team was not in prime condition to contend. This led to some fairly ugly lowlights which could have been avoided with better decision-making. Nonetheless, his average of 15.2 points on 41.3% shooting from all three levels was still on par with what he produced with the Warriors.</p><p>Green, on the other hand, just inked a massive deal. It gave him an average annual salary of $25 million for a four-year span. But, the season was very rough for him which also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-green-teases-shaq-podcast-favorite-player-admission">meant that the Warriors</a> struggled. He got penalized for his altercations with Rudy Gobert and Jusuf Nurkic. This meant that Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry did not have their primary defender. All of this led to an unfortunate Play-In Tournament exit which wasted a year in their superstar’s prime.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This is according to reputable outlets such as Celebrity Net Worth.</p><p>Jordan Poole was born on June 19, 1999, in Milwaukee, Wis. He attended Rufus King High School, where he started his amateur basketball career. After some good showings with Rufus King, Poole transferred to La Lumiere High School.</p><p>At La Lumiere, Poole would help the team win 2017 Dick’s National High School Championship. During the national title game, Poole tallied 13 points, three rebounds, four assists, and three steals while <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2017/04/02/michigan-wolverines-basketball-jordan-poole/99954978/" rel="noopener">making three shots</a> from beyond the arc.</p><h2><b>Jordan Poole’s college career</b></h2><p>Coming out of high school, Poole was considered to be a four-star recruit by <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/207257/jordan-poole" rel="noopener">ESPN</a>. He received offers from various college basketball programs. These included Virginia Tech, Nebraska, Memphis, Marquette, Indiana, Illinois, Auburn, and Michigan. In the end, Poole committed to Michigan.</p><p>Poole played for the Michigan Wolverines for two seasons. He averaged 9.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 37 percent from behind the arc.</p><p>During his freshman year, Poole drained a game-winning three in the second round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament, which helped the Wolverines escape with a 64-63 win over Houston. In his sophomore season, Poole helped Michigan make another Sweet 16 appearance.</p><h2><b>NBA career with the Golden State Warriors</b></h2><p>After a pair of seasons with the Michigan Wolverines, Poole decided to declare for the 2019 NBA Draft, foregoing his remaining years of college eligibility in the process. During draft night, Poole was selected in the first round with the 28th overall pick by the Golden State Warriors. Shortly after, he signed a four-year rookie deal worth $10 million, as per <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/washington-wizards/jordan-poole-31587/transactions/" rel="noopener">Spotrac</a>.</p><p>In his first season in the NBA, Poole mostly came off the bench. In limited minutes, he registered 8.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. A season later, Poole improved his numbers to 12.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game.</p><p>While playing for the Golden State Warriors, Poole also split his time by suiting up for the Warriors’ G-League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors. In the developmental league, Poole put up 26.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game. For his efforts, the first-round pick was named to the All-NBA G-League Third Team.</p><p>The 2021-22 season was arguably the best year for the Wolverines standout. He averaged 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game, while shooting a career-best 36 percent on 3-pointers.</p><p>But more importantly, Poole also played an instrumental role in helping Stephen Curry and the Warriors win the NBA championship. During the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, Poole knocked down 38.5 percent of his shots from beyond the arc, the second-highest behind only Stephen Curry.</p><p>After winning his first NBA title, the Warriors rewarded Poole with a lucrative <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/jordan-poole-4-year-extension-warriors" rel="noopener">four-year contract extension</a>, worth $140 million.</p><h2><b>Draymond Green’s infamous punch of Jordan Poole</b></h2><p>Fresh from winning his first NBA championship, Poole and the Warriors made headlines for the wrong reasons. Despite winning a championship together, Poole was at the center of a scuffle during a Warriors practice that saw teammate Draymond Green land a punch against the former.</p><p>Apparently, <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-why-draymond-green-punch-jordan-poole-2022-real-reason-explored" rel="noopener">reports</a> revealed that the scuffle stemmed from the two players trash talking one another in relation to their respective contract extensions with the team.</p><p>However, despite a dramatic incident, Poole didn’t let it bother him during the 2022-23 season. Individually, he averaged a career-high 20.4 points and 4.5 assists per game to go along with 2.7 rebounds per outing.</p><h2><b>Jordan Poole is traded to the Washington Wizards</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">ESPN Sources: The Washington Wizards are finalizing a deal to send Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors for a package that includes Jordan Poole and future draft assets. <a href="https://t.co/kpNkhqFicp">pic.twitter.com/kpNkhqFicp</a></p><p>— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) <a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1671959234701828106?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 22, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Stemming from the infamous punch on top of Poole’s disappointing postseason play, the Warriors decided to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-golden-state-agrees-jordan-poole-chris-paul-trade-with-wizards" rel="noopener">trade Poole to the Wizards</a> with the intention of maximizing the core’s window by landing Chris Paul. Now with the Wizards, Poole is expected to play a major role for the rebuilding Wizards squad that recently traded away their star Bradley Beal.</p><h2><b>Jordan Poole’s endorsement deals</b></h2><p>Given that Poole established himself as one of the important pieces during the latter part of the Warriors dynasty, it isn’t surprising that major brands decided to partner with the latest Wizards player. As per Sportskeeda, Poole has endorsement deals with Infinity Sports Medicine, sports memorabilia firm Panini America, and a shoe deal with Under Armour.</p><p>Nevertheless, were you at all stunned by Jordan Poole’s net worth in 2024?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He wasn’t just an indispensable cog at present, but represented the bridge between eras owner Joe Lacob had always dreamed of using to keep his team in contention even after Stephen Curry, Green and Klay Thompson were well past their primes.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-must-absolutely-bring-down-the-hammer-on-draymond-green-after-jordan-poole-punch">Green’s connection with Poole’s right jaw</a> changed all that, with a subsequent leak of footage of the incident only making matters worse. The punch was no longer just a hush-hush internal problem that threatened to derail the Warriors’ season. It had become a national story that drastically altered how Poole, Green and the organization at large was perceived.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-news-jordan-poole-mercilessly-booed-enraged-fans-brutal-outing-cavs">Poole hasn’t been the same</a> player ever since. A disastrous 2022-23 season with Golden State paved the way—even ignoring ever-fraught locker-room dynamics resulting from the punch—for his trade last summer to the Washington Wizards, with whom he’s continued to underwhelm. Green, meanwhile, certainly hasn’t avoided his propensity for violent on-court outbursts in the interim, being suspended indefinitely by the NBA in December after striking Jusuf Nurkic in the face following his chokehold of Rudy Gobert.</p><p>Could fallout from the punch have gone much differently if Golden State ever identified who in the organization leaked the video? The Warriors’ public-facing frustration at the time certainly suggested as much, with leaders like Steve Kerr at times appearing just as miffed by the video getting out as the incident itself.</p><p>More than a year-and-a-half since then and almost a full NBA season away from stepping down as the Warriors’ general manager, ESPN commentator Bob Myers was asked recently if Golden State ever found out who leaked the video.</p><p>“No. Nope. Umm, I think the best I can answer that is, we couldn’t pinpoint anybody,” Myers told JJ Redick on The Old Man and the Three. “It wasn’t like we found someone and we…We looked! We looked! We tried! Third-party, we couldn’t.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">JJ Redick: “Did you ever find out who leaked the [Draymond Green and Jordan Poole tape]?”</p><p>Bob Myers: “No… We looked.

Even if the “perpetrator” <a href="https://theathletic.com/4155701/2023/02/06/warriors-trade-deadline-mailbag/" rel="noopener">recorded video on their cell phone</a> from official team footage of practice before taking it public, as suggested by Tim Kawakami of The Athletic, rest assured Golden State and its third-party investigators would eventual glean enough intel to get a pretty strong idea of who leaked the footage.</p><p>At least as likely as a complete failure of an investigation is the probe turning up evidence that would’ve made the team look even worse in wake of the punch. What if a front office higher-up exasperated by Green’s antics directed the leak? Maybe it was a teammate of Green and Poole’s who was similarly frustrated. What if Poole or someone in his circle did it himself? Are we really so naïve to put it past ownership?</p><p>What’s done is done. All parties have moved on, at least in principle, with Poole a shell of the dynamic playmaker who helped lead the Dubs to a title, Green toeing the line of unacceptable on-court antics and Golden State following another up-and-down regular season set for a do-or-die matchup <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-what-steve-kerr-loved-about-incredible-dubs-brutal-2-point-loss-to-mavericks">against the Los Angeles Lakers</a> in the bottom half of the play-in tournament.</p><p>The only head that rolled due to Green’s punch and the subsequent leak? Poole’s, a decision that no doubt had more to do with his damaging play than presence in the locker room. But can those elements really be separated in wake of such public-facing humiliation and internal hesitation to severely punish Green?</p><p>“I don’t speak on it much,” Poole told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne last May <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-jordan-poole-finally-addresses-draymond-greens-punch-as-dubs-fall-to-lakers">after the Dubs’ season ended</a>. “But I will say that … you’ve got to have a different level of maturity.</p><p>“We had a season to play. You’re going to have to play with these people in the locker room, and that’s why I said maturity is a big thing. What I know for a fact is there aren’t many people who would be able to think logically and understand the magnitude of the situation, you know?”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This move didn’t seem to matter much, as the Wizards still fell 130-110 for their 46th loss of the season, the fifth time in the last six seasons that the organization has had at least 46 losses.</p><p>After this game, Poole was obviously <a href="https://x.com/avarwallace/status/1760893796831629472?s=20" rel="noopener">frustrated</a> that he was benched by interim head coach Brian Keefe, but he offered reassurance that he was going to play his role to the best of his abilities.</p><p>“If there’s any common sense, with the situation, you should know how I feel,” Poole stated, via Ava Wallace of The Washington Post. “But I’m just going to come out, do what I can do to help the team, keep it moving.”</p><p>Rookie swingman Bilal Coulibaly stepped into the starting lineup for the Wizards in place of Poole. The rookie played a total of 32 minutes, registering four points, two assists, and a rebound. For Poole, he played a total of 30 minutes off the bench, scoring 18 points on 4-of-17 shooting and 3-of-9 from three-point range.</p><p>Keefe spoke with the media ahead of Thursday night’s game, claiming that the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/02/22/jordan-poole-wizards-bench/" rel="noopener">decision</a> to move Poole to the bench was one that would help the group “improve as a whole.”</p><p>“One of the things we’ve liked about Jordan since I’ve taken over is that I’ve definitely given him the ball more and have allowed him to be an elite decision-maker,” Keefe said, via Wallace. “With some of the roster opening up, now there’s an opportunity for him to do that more and make our team more complete and be able to play a better, full 48 minutes.”</p><p>What this role change means for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-jordan-pooles-time-with-wizards-believed-to-be-short-lived" rel="noopener">Poole’s future</a> with Washington is uncertain. The 24-year-old guard has not played well since arriving in the offseason, averaging just 15.7 points and 3.6 assists per game while shooting only 39.6 percent from the floor and 30.4 percent from three-point range in a Wizards uniform. Poole has also averaged roughly 2.2 turnovers per game this season.</p><p>In the first season of a four-year, $128 million contract, the Wizards appear to be married to Poole. No team in the league, especially with the new financial rules put in place by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, is going to want to take on that kind of contract for a player who has been struggling. The Wizards are hopeful that Poole will be able to embrace his new role off the bench, a similar one he held with the Golden State Warriors when they won a championship during the 2021-22 season.</p><p>As for Poole and his mindset, it wouldn’t come as a shock if he views this change as a demotion rather than a move that can benefit the team as a whole.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the 76ers may prefer to swing more of a lower-profile trade instead, as they are reportedly interested in acquiring a guard from the moribund Washington Wizards.</p><p>Jordan Poole, however, is not the Wizards guard the 76ers prefer to trade for. According to Matt Moore of Action Network, Philadelphia <a href="https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/nba-trade-intel-dejounte-murray-trae-young-intrigue" rel="noopener">wants to bring in</a> a steady hand at point guard in Tyus Jones, although they haven’t yet met the Wizards’ asking price of a first-round pick.</p><p>Jones is one of the best point guards in remaining under control. He doesn’t get sped up by opposing defenses, preferring to take his time in initiating his team’s offense. This makes him quite the good fit for the 76ers. Not only should he make entry passes to Joel Embiid that much easier, his efficiency and ability to pick his spots in more of a low-usage role makes him an easy player to put alongside the more ball-dominant Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.</p><p>Tyus Jones also has the threat of the floater in his repertoire, making him an effective conductor of the pick-and-roll, so he should be able to get the most out of the 76ers’ stars in these actions as well.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-news-washington-pg-situation-after-acquiring-tyus-jones-sparks-speculation-of-more-trades" rel="noopener">It’s a near-certainty</a> that the Wizards will be entertaining trade offers for Jones. After all, they currently have a record of 6-31, making them prime candidates to sell off a few pieces to contending teams. The Wizards, however, may not be able to receive their asking price for the 27-year old point guard. Jones’ contract <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/washington-wizards/tyus-jones-17852/" rel="noopener">will be expiring</a> after the season, so it’ll be tough to stomach for the 76ers or any other contending team to give away a first-round pick for a flight risk.</p><p>Acquired by the Wizards this offseason in the Kristaps Porzingis trade, Jones could net the team a few second-round picks as contending teams gear up for the stretch run. Currently, Jones is averaging 12.6 points and 5.5 assists per game on 52.6 percent shooting from the field in his first extended stint as a starting point guard in the NBA.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Poole helped the Warriors secure the 2022 NBA title, serving as a prominent sixth man in the lineup. He’s since been the No. 1 option for a substandard Washington Wizards team, after being rewarded a max contract from Golden State. Klay Thompson spoke on the Warriors tribute toward Poole, sharing some insight on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-opens-up-on-facing-jordan-poole" rel="noopener">his thoughts</a>.</p><p>“<a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1738592582639173962" rel="noopener">Gave me chills watching</a> [Poole’s] tribute video. It just shows you how fast time really moves when you play pro ball… It was like walking down memory lane,” said Thompson, via ClutchPoints on X.</p><p>Thompson has been with the Warriors for quite some time, working through championship rosters and rosters that struggle to make the playoffs. The Warriors have seen ups and downs in the past decade, with most seasons turning into a positive. Thompson helped build Golden State’s organization into what it is today, and a player like Poole kept the momentum going when he was drafted from Michigan.</p><p>There seemed to be a great relationship between Poole and the Warriors, just before the hit from Draymond Green. Thompson and Stephen Curry were mentors to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-jordan-poole-kevon-looney-swap-jerseys-in-wholesome-moment" rel="noopener">young guard</a> who plays a similar style of basketball. Three players that love to shoot the ball and have the range to play freely in any offense. With younger players like Poole, it’s important for veterans to keep them under their wing, and with the Warriors that’s exactly what Poole benefited from.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
