Stephen A. reacts to Jordan Poole’s benching: He needs a personality check! | First Take

Moved guard Jordan P to the bench after struggling in his first year in DC P was traded in the summer from Golden State after receiving a huge payday from the Warriors as he was once build a part of their future plan essay what do you make a pool right

Now I think that uh Jordan P needs to sit down with his family and loved ones and he really really needs to have a personality check this is not a kid that cannot play Jordan p is a talent he helped the Golden State Warriors win a championship but ever since then the

Word about him is that his head got big and when he was traded to the Washington Wizards obviously his leadership was sorely lacking and so you don’t have people that want him to succeed that want to Rally around him this is not about his basketball skills this is

About the fact that he has very minimal health because nobody has a desire to help him this is where he ranks right now Molly he’s third in the NBA third worst in the NBA at 39.6% shooting trailing only rookie scoot Henderson and Spencer Den witty those are the only two

That are worse 3.43 point percentage shooting also third worst in the NBA a minimum of 200 attempts only trailing Nico V Nola VVC and Jordan Clarkson only those two are worse and at 46.6% effective field goal shooting he’s second worst uh in the entire NBA only the scoot Henderson he didn’t forget how

To play what happened is he had teammates that wanted him to succeed in Golden state that knew how to play the game better of course but also wanted him to succeed because he was a better teammate he went to the Washington Wizards had a big head was a bit

Snobbish according to what other people are saying and you got an abundance of people who want him to fail and you could see it because he’s all alone on the basketball court they don’t care for him Kyle kosma obviously they don’t have a very good team but they just don’t

Care for him he’s got to have a personality transplant and really adjust his behavior to get folks to Galvanize and rally around him instead of alienating him because they don’t want to have anything to do with him that’s Jordan pool’s problem right now and he needs to fix it

Wendy I got to say it’s remarkable that the warriors were able to win a championship with him two years ago because he was a big big part of that title he was awesome they absolutely got the most out of him no question and the second thing is it’s amazing they were

Able to trade this contract it’s changed the way the world can look at their future because they were able to get out of this contract and that was a huge huge trade that probably doesn’t get them enough attention on is

  1. give a fair debate trial honestly, the guy has bad highlights all season round, from giveaways falling down bad shots. and these cats kept roasting westbrook in the tail end of his career for being paid max dollars look at this clown

  2. Poole can really ball.. fr I think it's more in his head he's a better player than klay Thompson right now 😂😂 so idk 🤷🏿 why golden state let my man go shoulda got rit of draymond

  3. This dude must have broke a voodoo chicks heart, cause how he fell off this bad is beyond me. He was phenomenal in that Warriors '22 chip. Space Jam style someone took away his powers.

  4. The irony is we are able to see almost simultaneously how HOF Klay handled coming off the bench like a true professional and champion vs how Poole has not handled well, two organizations benching him.

  5. Im sorry for Poole but to be honest seen what was become last year thats what gets you in trouble on another team ….who u tink u are u are good that prove it …..

  6. wow, more SAS insight: someone shoot bad percentage. must be teammate's fault. open jumpers, clank and miss, teammate fault.

  7. Jordan Poole needs help!
    Goes on to break down how he is having one of the worst shooting seasons in the league

  8. Jordan Poole can be a all star talent but needs his mental right. This is not a skill problem. His mental is very crucial for his performance and it goes with his rhythm. He was happy and in a great system in GS. Wasn’t cruicified and posted for every mistake he made. And now he is the best player on wizards stinking it up. By himself with a bad attitude and no one behind him. I hope the wizards can maximize the young player they have. I still think he has TALENT.
