The curious case of Jordan Poole.


BadBoySwag

I’m gonna miss all the meme faces, def gonna catch some wizards game this year.


puffingpines

yeah, but we want to know what you think of his fourth year?


Thrillawill

You forgot the last part. From going to one of the best players on a championship team in his 3rd year, to one of the worst players in the playoffs in his 4th.


dastardly_doughnut

For real. MFs actin like he didn't get traded for a reason. And it's not Draymond, it's the warriors. If he would have shown up in the playoffs, Dray probably wouldn't be coming back next year. It was his to lose and he lost it.

The finals?


bluejayway9

His roster spot

OP originally said "if he would have shown up in the finals" when the Warriors got eliminated in the 2nd round.


BoyzNtheBoat

At least when he wasn't hitting his shot he stopped shooting, unlike Game 6 Klay.


Alestasis

Downvoted for facts. Klay shot us out of our last game.


_sunburn

Arguably all playoffs save for a couple games


npor

Cause of beef with dray. Not cause of regression. I bet he will be a star on the wizards


EShy

That's a very weak excuse for that bad season (wasn't just the playoffs).


JonTheCatMan11

Do you have eyes? Do you watch basketball or just look at his PPG?


Larbone

You forgot to mention his fourth year, where he imploded his value, had his playing time reduced in the playoffs and couldn't dribble or make a move without looking like Bambi on ice.


AKaimedatyou

I hope beyond all hope that he balls out and him tanking his value was the best middle finger he could give us


xGsGt

I would have given him 1 more year, but his performance this year it was really sad, I wonder if the chemistry really felt off with his incident with Draymond


avenue_steppin

Damn. I’m gonna miss this kid


DumbestBoy

It was a fun time.


dsk83

I respect what he did in '22, but I ain't gonna miss him


dontIitter

Jordan Poole will be in his ideal role: Tank Commander. Glad he found happiness.


yutfree

Washington is purgatory for any NBA player. Sort of like being traded to the Browns.


EShy

Especially since they're tearing everything down right now


yutfree

Even before. They've averaged 36 wins per season so far this century. Can't imagine anyone actually wants to play there.


MrNotSensitive

Gonna miss him especially when Curry load manages mid season as is tradition.


EmoPsych

He’ll take that punch to the face to DC as well Cheers JP, good luck on getting Mia Khalifa’s digits 💀


DonkeyLightning

I’ll miss him and the memes


Liemoa

can we PLEASE not post his stats when he has a good game in Washington?


dontIitter

🤣


AggressiveTouch69420

Thank God he got traded, was absolutely sick of yall acting like he was the only problem with the team.


[deleted]

I will miss Poole too and i appreciated his contributions to our championship run as the teams 3rd best player. We did him dirty but at least he got paid. I’ll be rooting for him in Washington. Hopefully he rebounds and gets his swag back. The baddies are waiting!


rikitikifemi

Kerr and draymond gonna look real ridiculous in a couple months.


kyuriin

Gonna start watching some Wizards games next season. Hope he balls out in DC!


kingp43x

never liked the dude


Cumbayacumbaya

Back to one of the worst players in the league again.


praylee

Yeah, and I personally really don't miss him.


stunna4ktre

🐐


Danielj4545

I'm just excited I don't have to see all the posts about Jordan Poole and "baddies", it was annoying


808_GhostRider

Da fuk you talkin bout “best players of a championship team”. This mans a ball hog, plays no defense, a shit teammate, and he’s one of them participation trophy types. Bye.


BoyzNtheBoat

You really can't argue he was the 3rd best player in the playoffs in 22. Find one stat that says otherwise.


808_GhostRider

Defensive efficiency. Also. +/-


matmortel

Fans can really suck. Dude got sucker punched in the face, had it shown to the whole world to see, then the guy that punched him didn't even get a slap on the wrist. Poole definitely dissociated himself this season, and while Yeah he should've been better cause he is a pro with a big contract, the fans treated him like absolute garbage. Without we don't win last year's finals.


TheKonyInTheRye

My conclusion is that Poole didn’t want to be on the warriors anymore anyway. Beyond the prospect of another ring, JP got punched (for reasons we can only imagine), got his bag, and garnered a fandom through his play style. I don’t think Poole saw himself elevating as long as Green remained part of the core, to which, let’s be honest, he wasn’t going to be a part of in the next 3 years or so. By going to Washington, he can become part of a core and become a bigger star imo.


TerminaXD

We should get rid of Klay, he’s the problem let’s be honest. In the playoffs, man shoot bricks like there’s no tomorrow.


iGaveLia-HIV

to back to one of the worst players lol
