[Rob Perez] There will be a time this season when Jordan Poole goes on such a scoring heater you think “that’s an all-star”, while his defensive assignment gets a layup at the other end because he’s busy doing synchronized pirouettes with Kuz and i want you to remember this tweet.

    If Jordan Poole is your main offensive player you’re going nowhere

    Either Washington gets the next James Harden or they get one of the most entertaining tank commanders in history. Win-Win

  3. craigslistaddict

    well… he was just +2, and he turned the ball over 4 times as well. but at least he _is_ scoring this time!

  4. 0percentwinrate

    How is this meme guy’s X account is on a approved list while official NBA isn’t?

  5. BetweenTheBuzzAndMe

    you can replace Poole’s name with Kelly Oubre and that also works here lol

  6. Syndana23

    Plenty of high scoring guards that don’t play defense or barely decent at the end in the league

    Don’t know why this is a centered point with JP. Players especially 1-2 guards are very rarely good two way players

  7. Pikuturtle1

    Damn lol.

    Didn’t watch the game but he scored 41 and it was in pre-season yet his box +/- was 2. Just an observation…

    hehe

  8. Why tf do we give Rob Perez attention. Who tf is this guy.

  9. TheWestRemembers

    This is more annoying when you consider you could say the same about other players… signaling out Poole for no reason is just him being a hater.

  10. He’s looked fine on defense so far. He’s not going to light the world on fire, but at the very least he’s engaged and moving where he’s supposed to. It was probably just an effort issue in GSW because of their chemistry issues.

    He’s not wrong. You could see some of that tonight. Scoring explosively but not necessarily playing winning basketball possession in and out. But what is true is that Tyus is going to make Poole better this season because he puts passes in pockets and with the timing where they’re comfortable. He’s a great player to have next to Poole. Kuzma is too because while he can often take bad shots, he’s not a selfish player and will find Poole and is a solid passer in his own right. Even Bilal can pass….Wizards have quite a bit of ballhandling/passing in their starting 5.

    Impact wise, whether it adds up to an All Star is TBD but he was getting to the rim tonight. People tend to forget to acknowledge his ballhandling abilities. He isn’t a non-passer either. Teams are gonna play him for the 3 so he’s gotta counter that by attacking the paint. His transition 3 is a weapon that teams will have to close out on. The Knicks didn’t do so.

    So we’re just letting anything get posted here now?

  13. SandyMandy17

    Isn’t that just Bradley Beal with extra steps

  14. Korndawgg

    Why is Bradley beal allowed to do exactly this for 2 straight years and get praise but Jordan Poole can’t?

  15. AstronautWorth3084

    Why would I remember that tweet, it’s what 99% of people think of jordan poole

  16. 693275001

    Salty Knicks fan crying cause Poole dropped 40 on his team in the pre season lol

  17. ObviousAnswerGuy

    are we really posting world wide wob tweets here now ??

  18. Askia-the-Creator

    They’ll be entertaining but might not win 25 games. That’s an improvement of not being watchable and sleepwalking to 35 wins like they were the last few seasons. This is long overdue.

  19. tooobluuu

    Who gives a shit ? The pirouettes are fun. This is just old people outrage bait

  20. BlackJediSword

    If the Wizards don’t allow Jordan Poole to have a top 15 usage percentage this season, they’re tanking wrong

  21. Kittens4Brunch

    What a hater. Hating on imaginary shit he’s made up, celebrating a future “I told you so!” victory he’s given himself.

  22. Just wait till he tries to shake his defender with some dribble moves and looks like a calf just being born and turns the ball over.

  23. ReallyBrainDead

    Predicted ratio of Poole heater games to ones he bricks the Wizards out of the game?
