SACRAMENTO – As soon as he caught the ball, Jordan Poole let the ball out of his hands. And why wouldn’t he?
With the clock winding down, the Warriors needed a 3 to tie the game. The Warriors had drafted Poole at No. 28 partly because of his shooting. So why not make a strong early impression? That story did not play out as scripted, though, Poole’s shot nipped the rim. The Warriors later lost to the Kings, 81-77.
Unfair to read anything into Poole scoring six points while shooting only 3-of-12 from the field and 0-of-6 from 3 in his summer-league debut.
