The Golden State Warriors have dealt with their fair share of growing pains so far this season and perhaps no player’s performance has been more evident of those growing pains than rookie Jordan Poole.
Poole was selected by the Warriors with the 28th pick in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft. And with a depleted core, it was expected that Poole would have to play some minutes early in his career to make up for the team’s offseason losses.
How much he’d be forced to play, however, could not have been anticipated.
