How BAD is Jordan Poole (Right Now)?

How BAD is Jordan Poole (Right Now)?

Jordan pool’s recent career trajectory has become the stuff of Legend as the 24-year-old NBA star has quickly moved from being the most improved NBA player who managed to bag $140 million contract from the Golden State Warriors to becoming a player who most people believe has officially replaced jav

McGee as the goofiest player in the NBA but what exactly happened why is he suddenly one of the most hated players on the court right now how did his once promising career take a nose dive and how did one single punch change the career of a player who helped the Golden

State Warriors win the 2022 NBA championships stay tuned as we dive into how bad of a player Jordan P actually is drafted into the NBA in June 2019 Jordan P who at the time was just 20 years old wasn’t the most popular rookie on the NBA block see the now Washington Wizards

Player was drafted out of Michigan as the 28th overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft draft besides being drafted 28th overall it seemed that the new rookie caught a break as he was drafted by the Golden State Warriors which surprisingly was one of the worst teams in the league

Sounds strange right but it’s true and their poor performance was based on straight up bad luck at the time the team was grappling with the devastating injuries of Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson but that wasn’t all because entering the new season Durant left for Brooklyn and Clay’s absence remained in

Fact it’s stretched on across two seasons so essentially Jordan was a rookie on a team that badly needed a win so what did he do well unsurprisingly Jordan’s first year with the Golden State Warriors didn’t go so well thanks to the fact that the team was missing

Key players like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson and Draymond Green only played 43 games that year his debut was supposed to be a chance for the young talent to shine but pool really struggled in fact when he got on the on the court he only scored nine points per

Game and his shooting wasn’t great things got so tough that despite the team missing players he got sent down to the G League it wasn’t a good time for Jordan and even his coach Steve Kerr later admitted that he looked totally lost in his rookie season it was

A bumpy start for p and his career was in trouble but there was something that kept P going his strong work ethic and determination to get better he was so hardworking that even Kerr once praised Jordan as the Warriors most consistent worker saying I hope the basketball guys

Reward him accordingly because he’s done everything possible to put himself in a position to succeed this was early in his second year and P hadn’t made any big waves in the NBA yet however Kerr’s prediction turned out to be spoton and the NBA Gods Smiled On Jordan in his

Second year P emerged as a rising star and by his third year he had reached New Heights no longer just a rising star he became a reliable player the Warriors could count on to contribute to the team success entering his third year P kicked off the 2021-22 season as a starter for

The Warriors stepping in for the recovering Klay Thompson surprising everyone he wasted no time seizing the opportunity as he averaged over 18 points per game in 30 minutes throughout the entire season but that’s not all because beyond the stats P embraced the Warriors guard style and ulating the offscreen movement and ball swinging

Finesse perfected by Clay and Steph in what many Now call one of the most entertaining games ever in the postseason against Nicola yic and the Nuggets pool lit up the court scoring an impressive 30 points on 9 for 13 shooting the game was amazing and perhaps what really set it apart was the

Fact that it wasn’t just luck because Jordan would continue his Stellar performance with a 29-point game two and a 27-point game three there was no denying it Jordan pool was on fire and everyone was catching the smoke he was seamlessly contributing to the offense alongside Steph and upon

Clay’s return they formed an effective Trio in three guard lineups he was so effective that people started calling him the third Splash brother and even when Steph faced a late season injury P stepped up delivering an impressive streak of 20po games for 17 consecutive matches even finishing the season as the

League lead in free throw percentage over Steph That season thanks to his outstanding progress he secured a fourth place finish in the most improved player voting as the playoffs came along po remained a significant Force averaging 17 points per game with impressive efficiency however something interesting happened as the playoffs

Advanced pool’s minutes began to dwindle hinting at potential challenges in his Warriors Journey he now saw reduced playing time Inu crucial playoff games which indicated a visible gap between the season Veterans of the Warriors and newer additions like pool who despite their talent hadn’t yet earned full Trust on the grandest

Stage however after the 2022 season it became clear to everyone that the Warriors needed to extend pool’s contract and acknowledge his incredible progress because the newcomer helped them win the championships as he scored at least 20 points in seven of the Warriors 16 Western Conference playoff games and then averaged 13.2 points a

Night in the NBA Finals victory over the Boston Celtics everything was going well for the star he had proved himself to everyone and the team was beginning to believe in him so much that they offered him 140 million 4-year extension contract with such an impressive track record the question arises what happened

To Jordan pool because just 2 years later he seems to have undergone a complete regression transforming into an inefficient shot taker for his new team the Washington Wizards see rather than showing Improvement he seems to have taken a step backwards which on its own is a cause for raised eyebrows

Especially considering his early praise from everyone in the Warrior’s front office for having one of the best work ethics in basketball coupled with his youth which indicated he had a high potential for growth well although his sudden decline isn’t caused by one major factor perhaps one of the most

Significant factors is the infamous Draymond incident see after the Warriors clinched the title things started to change mainly due to pool’s contract situation despite his impressive regular season performance the Warriors faced a dilemma could they afford to pay him a hefty sum if he wasn’t contributing much

In crucial games this was a serious question mainly because they already had significant contracts with Steph clay Draymond and Wiggins and with Dr man’s New Deal looming this contract issue became the main reason pool left the Warriors leading to an unfortunate situation after their Championship win it quickly became evident that pool

Wasn’t delivering enough value for money after all the 140 million doll contract was a big gamble as the team hoped he would become at least an All-Star but that didn’t happen consequently the Warriors had to trade pool to the Wizards for Chris Paul whose contract

Was shorter by 2 years in DC pool hadn’t been as good as 2 years ago and expectations had fallen short which is very strange especially because he now has the chance to be a key player for the Wizards something he didn’t experience with the Warriors this decline was a surprise especially after

NBA legend Kevin Garnett even compared pool leaving the Warriors to James Harden leaving OKC and becoming a superstar in Houston however this comparison hasn’t held up as pool’s performance has declined since leaving the Warriors many believe the decline is due to his bad attitude the same bad attitude that got him punched by

Draymond when he disrespected the season player by implying Curry carried him throughout his career and called him an expensive backpack for 30 this however wasn’t the only instance of his bad attitude as when the Warriors went to Japan and had a three-point shooting contest between Steph and Clay versus

Pool and Moody clay made a response after the game saying it was nice to Humble Jordan pool another possible explanation is that P May no longer be as motivated to improve since he has a secure contract see he’s no longer the underdog from the g-league he’s made it and many people have noted

That since getting paid Po’s Behavior has turned arrogant evident in his actions during games and interactions with teammates for example while he was with the Warriors in a Lakers game p continuously took bad shots and went on to complain when he got benched another time in in a closing game against the

Pistons he made a crucial mistake and showed a lack of effort in recovering the ball or playing defense these behaviors weren’t apparent before the big contract and by the time his days with the warriors were over Steph Draymond and Steve Kerr had seen enough his move became necessary and now early

Into his new season with the Wizards it’s clear that P’s Behavior hasn’t changed making him a pain to play with with many fans now calling him a diva see his career with the Wizards is just a reflection of how bad he has become with p and the Wizards holding the

Second worst record in the 20232 24 NBA season p in particular has been a disappointment as he struggles with his shot efficiency and defensive effort surprisingly the Wizards actually perform exceptionally well when pool is not on the court outscoring opponents by 11.8 points for 100 possessions even surpassing the league leading Boston

Celtics in score differential however when pool is in play the team faces a drastic downturn with opponents outscoring them by 22.7 points per 100 possessions today Po’s performance is hitting rock bottom with a staggering minus 34.5 points drop for 100 possessions which by the way is the

Worst in the league in fact no one playing over 20000 minutes this season even comes close to his disastrous minus 34.5 plus minus showing just how much he’s dragging the team down Cool’s impact is worse than that of players with the lousiest plus minus in the last

Five seasons and even though it’s only mid-season his massive negative influence as a supposed key player is ringing alarm Bells it’s so serious that the Wizards are actively exploring trades for Jordan pool desperate to shake things up and tackle the team’s challenges head on we’ve heard the story a thousand

Times of how players who get paid a lot lose the will to play but Jordan’s case seems different as the player hasn’t even given us a tip of his true potential and although he seems to be picking himself back up he’s still a long way from Redemption and proving

He’s worth the massive contract he was given but what do you think is he going to make a comeback or is this the end of the third Splash brother let us know in the comment section below and while you’re at it why not give this video a
