This season has been a rough one for the Golden State Warriors as an organization.
They’re one of just nine teams in the league without double-figure wins, and it’s just not looking pretty. While Eric Paschall, one of their second-round draft picks, has been a pleasant surprise, their first-round pick, Jordan Poole, has struggled mightily.
Given the injury situation in Golden State, head coach Steve Kerr had no choice put to play Poole 20-plus minutes a night.
After all, when you have 14 guaranteed contracts and half of them are sidelined, your options are limited. With D’Angelo Russell back in action and Jacob Evans III’s return on the horizon, Kerr has more options.
