"The Jordan Poole experience in Washington was quite the ride for an abundance of reasons. Between major offensive performances, unreal shot-making, nights where his inefficiency stood out and others where his decision-making simply caused frustration stemming from the coaching staff to the fans at home. Regardless, there's no doubt that while having the Michigan product on your team can cause a roller coaster ride of emotions, it rarely translates to winning."
"There's no denying that Poole's second season in Washington was drastically better than his first year in the DMV, especially considering year one ended in interim head coach at the time, Brian Keefe, benching the playmaker. In year two, the guard managed to serve as the Wizards' primary ball handler and starting point guard and while the inconsistencies remained, Washington did a great job disguising the concerns surrounding his game."
Jordan Poole's tenure in Washington featured high-scoring nights, spectacular shot-making, and frequent decision-making lapses and inefficiency, which limited team success. The Wizards traded him to the New Orleans Pelicans, who sought to clear CJ McCollum's expiring contract and add youth to the backcourt. Poole produced a stronger second season in Washington but retained inconsistency. New Orleans has removed Poole from the rotation, given him consecutive DNP-CDs, and is reportedly shopping him ahead of the trade deadline. Poole is enduring a career-worst season, averaging 14.5 points, 3.1 assists and shooting 37.0 percent from the field, raising concerns about his lucrative contract and tradeability.
