What is a realistic expectation for Jordan Poole this upcoming season? Well, if we’re being honest, many fans are seemingly expecting Poole to come in and be a contributor on this championship-contending team.
All that’s going to do is lead to disappointment.
By no means is Poole’s career destined for failure. He’s an excellent shooter and a smart playmaker. However, on the defensive and offensive end, he’ll need to get stronger and more confident before becoming a rotational asset.
We saw this in summer league.
Poole averaged 17.8 points per game in the four games he played.
