An exciting college prospect with a ton of personality, Jordan Poole hoped to have a successful rookie season with the Golden State Warriors.
Klay Thompson was quick to give praise to the rookie, claiming Poole “smoked him” in a shooting contest early in the season. This means a lot coming from one of the greatest shooters of all-time in Thompson.
Sadly, Poole’s rookie season hasn’t exactly gone to plan thus far. He was quickly thrown into the starting lineup when Stephen Curry fell with a fractured left hand. Playing an increased role with heavy expectations, Poole faltered.
