I hope he pulls a Gil move and drops 60 on Draymond. Stunt on these hoes, JP

I don’t think those predicting this are factoring in how much Kuz is also going to shoot.

It’s hilarious to me how many of these takes are coming out like this is something to say. From the moment it was clear we weren’t going to just instantly trade him elsewhere, it was clear him and Kuz would have a neon light and could score as much as they please. At least for the first couple months. But after a month or two it’s gonna get real silly if we’re watching him and Kuz try to put up 40 pts a game if the rest of the guys and most notably the young guys (Bilal/Corey/Deni/Gaff) are languishing. But yeah, you really have to not have been paying attention to the Wizards to all of a sudden be like “Poole’s gonna score a lot!”. Well shit yeah, aside from Kuz, Gallo & Shamet, nobody else on the damn team has ever put up 30 points in an NBA game.
Shamet is injured and walking around in a boot. Gallo is 35 and running around like he’s wearing boots. Poole is 1 of 2 real scoring threats on this team. Even if him and Kuz averaged 30+ points per game which would put them both in contention for the scoring title, where are the rest of the points coming from? So yeah, it was clear from the start of Poole staying and playing, that he’d be the one along with Kuz responsible for the bulk of the points if they were gonna win any games.

They still won’t win many games, but a 40-40 night or two for those guys is completely possible. Back in May, when some of us were trying to act like the Warriors would trade DA & CK for JP [it was obvious that he was worlds above them](https://www.reddit.com/r/washingtonwizards/comments/138wml1/poole_pole_jordan_poole_for_avdija_kispert/jj0m3n1/). I’m not even a Poole fan but [look at the video linked](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_LhaK-R2ZM). It was clear he is super talented offensively.
