Jordan Poole has been a bit of a polarizing figure this season.
Ever since signing a four-year $123 million contract extension, he’s had his world rocked — figuratively and literally. His overall shooting efficiency has gone down (from 54.8 eFG% last season to 51.4 eFG% this season), even while upping his raw scoring average by 2.5 percentage points (18.5 to 21.0).
His two-point shooting hasn’t suffered much of a dip (55.0% to 53.1%), while his free-throw shooting (86.1%) is still considered well above-average, but nowhere close to its league-leading nature last season (92.5%).
But it’s been his shooting from the outside that has been a major point of concern.
