How’s his game offensively outside of scoring out of curiosity? Also, not that he’s played well at all, but he’s probably on a team with much worse spacing and probably hasn’t adapted well. Even if he was playing well, his efficiency still probably would have declined a few percent.

nah honestly it's because 2022/2023 season the nba started to heavily call carries, it became an effort because the warriors won in 2022 and poole was a big part of that and other teams complained. something about poole's handle is he carries a fk ton, there were games at the start of that season where he was called like 3x in a row. I think that it really killed his game more than the punch did.

The only way poole was ever going to be effective was as a instant offense guy in the warriors system.

The issue didn't go away but he still got the bag and now he's on a terrible team and has no reason to care. The end

I know honestly, he's better coming off the bench. However, that's not much considering the situation that he's in.

[@spliffsforbreakfast]

There’s a episode of Gil’s show where he talk about Draymond admitting to what really happened. It was 100% Draymond having an emotional breakdown due to personal at home issues compounded with Jordan busting his ass on the court in practice. Jordan Poole’s fall started the moment they decided to choose sides and coddle Draymond for trying to turn off a teammate’s lights. It’s hard to empathize with bad play and being a shitty teammate but I know he’s dealing with shit mentally for sure. I lowkey feel bad for him.

[@salientsolution5436]

They didn't choose sides. Look at all the media after the punch, every player and coaching staffer is praising Poole but he still moped and gained an attitude. The problems started when Poole got too big for his boots.

[@spliffsforbreakfast]

@@salientsolution5436 of course it was PR nightmare for staff and players to make it seem like everything was being handled smoothly. I remember Coach Kerr saying that he stood with Poole. I also remember “the media” immediately saying that one of them is getting traded and it wasn’t a given who it would be.

If you watched the Warriors last season, you saw this coming from a mile a way. Most fans saw his age and points and instantly thought "He's an upcoming all star" but if you saw how he played last year, he made terrible mistakes that costed the Warriors several games. His basketball IQ was horrible and shot selections were putrid. Hilarious that people said the CP3 trade was a robbery when one team got a salary dump and the other is stuck with a terrible contract for a few years

[@de132]

[@TorontoWire]

[@de132]

I was critical of Jordan Poole all the way back to the year prior to their Finals year. He is an inconsistent scorer who can't do anything else. His game is so flawed that I don't think the Draymond punch really is the cause of anything. He's always been this guy, people just remember highlights. In those last two years with Golden State, he cost them several regular season and playoff games. I swear, people didn't watch full games with Poole or just got their mind wiped like Men in Black or something.

[@de132]

Jordan Poole needs to develop ANY kind of game without the ball, either offensively or defensively. Either he needs to become a better passer or better defender. Literally any kind of bag and he's a much better player. His game sucks and has always sucked.

[@mekacrab]

Draymond did punch the skill out of him. Nah, to be honest I always felt like Poole was thinking he was like Steph 2.0 with the shots he took. He tries too much to play like a superstar instead of playing good basketball.

[@CitrusBear2512]

One of the worst contracts in the league for a guy with one of the best insults to Draymond ever. "You're an expensive backpack for 30"

[@georgemichaels9536]

If Poole wants to remain in the league, he’s gonna have to let his warriors success go at this point. His ring has merit but at best, he’s a 3rd scoring option who may be able to do more if he commits to fixing his game. If he understands that he will never be “the guy” on a team and commits to finding his way, I don’t see why the wizards wouldn’t send him to at least a mid tier team a year or two from now.

[@yoki_isthename9456]

I expected a dropoff in performance when he got sent off to the Wizards, but I didn't expect things to go like this.

But it won't be easy.

[@milk__teee]

I think people don’t realize how easy it is for people to get a concussion, Draymond literally knocked out Poole by punching him in the jaw, which is how you usually get knocked out from a concussion. He doesn’t seem all there because there’s a high chance Draymond have him a concussion. And I’m not here to explain to people what a concussion does to a person, but there’s some symptoms that align with Jordan Poole, whether it’s him not looking all there, or him just being slower. Jordan Poole could potentially make a comeback since you can comeback from a concussion, but it takes a lot of time. And Poole definitely plays based off of confidence, so he’s gonna have to figure out how to boost his own confidence. But yeah, he definitely got a cte, his body instantly goes limp, and Draymond may have even got another punch or two in, when he was already knocked out. Just being a horrible teammate, trash talking definitely doesn’t justify literally altering someone’s life like that. I’m not even a Poole fan either, I don’t like the warriors and I’m obviously a Draymond hater too. But the whole scenario was just so weird last year. And deservedly so they will probably move on from Draymond soon.
