Jordan Poole has gotten to the point in his career where his role within the team has not only grown in size, but with his looming contract, there are big shoes to fill. With nothing but young players on the second unit to facilitate outside of Poole, he will have to be that 2nd facilitator for the Warriors on the 2nd unit. This means BIG things for the transition from the veteran core to the young core.

Love this! Feel blessed to be in the Bay and rooting for the Warriors. There are a few times last year Poole even played better than Steph.. and Steph was ok with it.. even came off the bench during the Denver series. I think Warriors player development and coaching needs to be recognized more.. Imagine how they developed Looney!? now can't wait what Wiseman can become this season or next..
Whatever Golden State decides, I trust their judgment better than my own!
He gone killem with niceness on the court. He gone pay him back by playing like a beast
all this comes out of a pre-season game? poole doesn't guard anyone in defense, worse than doncic. wait for the real game, don't act like a over-hyped fan!
All in good, but they lost the game even when the had it in the bag. You got to give Dray some props.
You must be YOUNG thinking green is remorseful over what he did , 🤣🤣
He is more sorry that he got caught on video than punching a team mate
He knows this punch will cost him 80 million dollars or more, he will get a reality chk of how much he is really worth for other teams once warriors kick him out 😎😎
Once his defense catches up, he’ll be a top 10 player… defense is all heart, and he needs to change his shoes too!! He was sliding all over the place last years playoffs… change your shoes
I watched the whole game… we got lite up by a bunch of g league scrubs! No defense and no one creating open looks or running the offense… aka Draymond. Still have no player on the roster to replace him when he's off the court. Kuminga is so raw and clueless… huge highlight reels but not helping you win… he's young so hopefully he'll figure it out and not become Maggette 2.o!
Poole is nice! Kids got amazing talent and looking great. You're going to max out your 6man? Curry locked up for 4yrs at +50mil. Klay +40mil for 2 years.
People act like Poole wasn’t like this before getting punched
The old guards are not getting any younger and smarter. Their trajectory is towards the “point of diminishing returns”. Like soldiers, retirement is inevitable not only due to age but also wear and tear. Diversify and make new investments. Jettison a technical foul-savvy bully who terrorizes own team for a few dollars more! “Hire for attitude not only aptitude”. Bad attitude sucks!
Damn bro, that beat drop always gets me pumped. You sure know a lot of intricacies about player development and hoop. What's your background Swish? have you done an episodes explaining why you love basketball? Were you a player before??
Honestly yes he can lead this team, I’ve been saying it since his second season, give him till his 3rd-5th season jordan Poole will be playing at an all star level, now look at him
He is boastful sad tp say pereonality create break ups
Gotta love this guy.
I'm surprised no one has yet compared the notion of giving up Poole over money to what the Houston Rockets did with James Harden. Poole and James Harden aren't identical, but there are a lot of parallels in their skillset. And we saw what happened with Harden once he didn't have to share the ball with two other All-Stars. Poole looks like an early blend of Harden (passing), Curry (shooting), and Kyrie (getting to the rim with slick ball handling AND finishing once he gets there. Dude is NICE!!
Draymond hands disagree 🤣🤣
One thing we all know is that poole is not a cry baby 🤣
Absolutely True! Great insights! Namely developing/building a team from the inside out, not stocking it with stars. Honor to the Warriors coaching staff and Meyers.
Golden State warriors should not even consider trading Jordan Poole what they need to do is get rid of Draymond because he's not a superstar and while there's players out there are so much better than Green like Collins, Crowder, and Turner that would be a greater power forward than Draymond if it wasn't for Steph, Klay, and the other younger players that are getting better every year. Those three guys I mentioned would help the warriors become a lot better team those guys can score, rebound and play defense. Draymond gives you maybe ten points,ten rebounds and a couple of assists. Between those three guys they can give you at fifteen to twenty points a game and then to fifteen rebounds and just look at what it would do for Steph, Klay, and Wiggins, and Poole alone with the other players they would be impossible to beat. I hope they really think about that trade. I think if Draymond goes anywhere else he probably will end up fading out of the NBA. If a team take him it would only be too help the younger guys. That would be the bench player's. Golden State warriors get all you can now before it's to late. He's mad because instead of Steph, Klay, and Draymond it's going to be Steph, Klay, Wiggins and Poole. He's a distraction for the younger generation. If Golden State warriors want another 💍 ring next year they have to part ways with Draymond. It doesn't take a rocket 🚀 scientist to figure out the problem. Just look at other teams that had a player like Green it finally destroyed their chemistry and they have not received a ring 💍 yet. Be smart and go for your fifth 💍 ring and it could put you in a position to three peat like those other teams that realized ring's are what you are playing for.
Dray betrayed the team. Expected to be a leader and role model, he has lost that with the Warriors. Kerr relied on Draymond to help grease the youngsters entry into the team. By sucker punching their young star, he betrayed Kerr’s trust. Everyone focuses on Draymond‘s need to rebuild trust with Poole it’s far more than Jordan. Kevon made that very clear. He lost the entire team’s trust. He is also lost his coach’s trust. Steve Kerrs cold ‘no comment ‘ made that abundantly clear. This will be Draymond‘s last year on the Warriors if they don’t trade him first.
JP, the man is cool!
being chill and not freakin is how Steph leads.
If the Warriors decide to replace Draymond with someone who can not only defend, but is taller and can actual score……..it will only make the team more dangerous
I love seeing JP shoot and he reminds me of Kobe Bryant. Alot of his smooth moves, could only be done by the one and only Kobe Bryant. Keep raising my brother, your basketball skills are outstanding. 🔥🙏❤❤❤❤🙏🥰
Bring cp3 to warriors get rid off green
Hey Swish, you do an awesome job with player breakdown. I look forward to every episode. The background music is dope also, keep up the great work Swish.
