SAN FRANCISCO -- When Jordan Poole comes into Chase Center as a member of the Washington Wizards on Friday night, the Golden State Warriors will be facing someone they once thought was a key to their future.
The 28th pick in the 2020 draft who then became a crucial part of the Warriors championship run two seasons ago and earned himself a four-year, $128 million extension, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Poole is a huge success story.
Poole's tenure couldn't have worked out any better, Kerr said, except for the way it ended.
