I Don’t Think Jordan Poole Can Recover From This

I Don’t Think Jordan Poole Can Recover From This

You know those days when you just can’t catch a break and everything that can go wrong does that’s been Jordan pool’s Vibe for the entire season from cringeworthy moments on the court to zero point games to statistics so dismal they’d make anyone yes even your granny

Throw a fit the pool party has become more of a pothole party entering the first year of his $128 million contract the fifth year guard has exceeded every expectation placed on him this season just not in the way anyone had hoped I mean as of today he’s been in a slump so

Deep that I don’t even know if it’s proper to call it a slump anymore it pains me to say this but judging from what I’ve seen I don’t think Jordan pool can recover from this there’s two major sources we can use to determine how good or how bad a

Certain player is one is the numbers test and the other is the eye test sometimes a player could do really well in one test but score horribly in the other and sometimes it’s vice versa take D’Angelo Russell for example and as this fan put it in that 2019 Series against

Philly he played such a smooth effortless style of basketball that passed the eye test but when it came to the numbers test he failed completely by shooting 36% for the series with a 44.6 true shooting percentage the vice versa of this would be Nicholas patum for much of his career

And especially when he was with the Clippers he was an outstanding numbers guy shooting north of 40% from beond on the AR mid-40s from the field and about 80% at the line when you watch him play however you might notice that he looks a bit awkward now shifting gears to Jordan

Pool my skepticism about his ability to recover from his current predicament is because he’s failing both tests let’s first dive into the numbers for a moment here’s a comprehensive list of MBA players in the league who’ve hit the necessary requirements needed to be on this list which takes into account games

Played minutes played etc etc well when I sort it by effective field goal percentage a critical metric for determining how good a player is or how bad in this case Jordan pool unfortunately finds himself languishing at the absolute bottom of this list to put into perspective how bad this

Situation is translating this into more traditional shooting figures we’re looking at pool shooting just 40% from the field and a mere 30% from three-point land for those wondering what counts as de shooting over 50% from the field is pretty solid while around 45% is average and frankly shooting 40%

Is like your flirting with being cut from the league and as far as 30% from three-point range that’s about what Giannis shoots and let’s be real defenses practically send him an invite to shoot from downtown but here’s the kicker Jordan P isn’t just any player he’s a volume shooter as one of

Washington’s primary options for scoring he’s taking 14 shot attempts per game and yet not once has he scored over 30 points so far this season honestly we all thought he’d be bad this season but nobody saw him plummeting this far I mean like this Lakers fan recently

Commented I owe Jordan pool an apology I thought he’d average 25 on 25 shots per game this year but turns out he’s even more bad than I thought 15 points is what we’d expect a fourth option to score on a team not a second option so by all accounts Jordan pool has failed

Every numbers test there possibly is next let’s move on to the eye test so uh here’s Jordan pool up top with the ball in hand in the fourth quarter with the Wizards trailing by four with 30 seconds left on the clock it’s Do or Die time but what does pool

Do oh my gosh that’s a carry oh my gosh he didn’t switch hands it wasn’t a crossover it was a you know I’m not I’m not big one for a carry call look at this one that was [Applause] Blake yeah guys this has pretty much

Been the tail of the tape when it comes to Jordan pool in Washington and I’m not exaggerating one bit things like this don’t happen in every game obviously but I’m serious when I say that every time I’m online scouring for fresh video ideas I stumble upon new low lights of

Pool like this here for example in this particular play pool takes on Drew holiday trying to back down in the post not once but twice and botches both attempts then in a scramble to save face and the ball he ends up throwing a grenade to kozma who airballs

It like I said I didn’t want to make another Pool video but every time I’m on the internet searching for video ideas bam pool does something else and you know what by just barely digging in and doing the bare minimum of research I quickly find even more content which backs up the narrative

Like look at how he plays defense on dear and fox here it’s like he just throws his hands up and gives Fox the green light to blow past him as if it’s just practice honestly this might just take the cake for the laziest defense I’ve witnessed all year and no kidding

This time guys about 2 weeks ago I was diving into a highlight reel of the Wizards versus Cleveland game I was there for one reason to see Jordan pool in action but after watching a 10-minute video not a single highlight featured pool and I’m sitting there puzzled thinking what’s the deal

Here naturally I did what any self-respecting basketball fanatic would do I headed over to espn.com to sift through the box score because let’s face it it’s just easier to navigate around than nba.com and that’s when it hit me the reason P was Mia from the Highlight Reel

He didn’t put up a single point that Game yeah you heard heard me guys the supposed second option on the Wizards in a recent Showdown against Cleveland scored a grand total of zero points NADA zip zilch now if P was a bench warmer or was a relatively unknown player we might give him a pass but nope this is the

Dude raking in $27 million this year for this performance so the real head scratcher here is why is this happening rewind just a few seasons back and this guy was hitting Playoff stats like 50% from the field 40% from three and 90% from the free throw line we’re talking about a

Guy once dubbed the third Splash brother the one Steph Curry himself said was next in line for the Golden State Throne how do you go from being handed the keys to the kingdom to becoming the punchline of the league well there’s a couple theories some people might blame it on

Draymond’s inFamous practice incident others argue defenses have figured him out claiming he was never really top tier but if you’re asking me it feels like he’s walking down a path similar to John morance a case of the alligators got him what that metaphorically means is that the Superstar lifestyle with all

The trappings of Fame and Fortune got to him many warriors fans are of the same opinion like this fan here who commented I’ve said it many times winning a title in year 2 and having some strong playoff games broke his brain he convinced himself that he’s Steph Curry and this

Is what it looks like when a guy has Steph’s confidence with less than half of his skill and then there’s this spot-on comment every time P touches the ball you can tell how badly he wants it to be a highlight for Instagram and it’s true I mean he even

Tried Steph Curry’s No 3 at one point which turned into another low light for him anyway with a contract north of $100 million and with a ring already on his finger honestly I don’t think Jordan pool can really recover from this it’s like how Zion can’t stop eating in New

Orleans or like how Ben Simmons can’t be bothered to strive for greatness Jordan pool is now in a tricky position where it’s hard for him to be great in Golden State it was easy because he was always around Legends like Curry and Thompson who were more than just teammates they

Were mentors eager to lift him up but in Washington it’s a whole different ball game they’ve been one of the worst organizations in the league for the better part of the last decade and let’s face it it’s tough to find motivation in an environment that doesn’t really care about winning when there’s no

Championship aspirations it’s hard to wake up at 4:00 a.m. and go to practice which then begs the question what’s next on the horizon for Jordan pool well the harsh reality is NBA history isn’t short of stories about players who vanished Into Thin Air post signing those big fat

LC ative contracts Chandler Parsons for example Inked a 4-year $94 million contract back with the Grizzlies in 2016 but because of injuries and well a bit too much partying he played out most of his contract on the bench before eventually drifting away from the NBA then there’s lual Deng who signed a

4-year $72 million contract with the Lakers the same year but when Magic Johnson became president of basketball operations he was keen on developing Brandon Ingram and as a result D found himself warming the bench for the majority of his contract at this point it seems that Jordan pool might be

Treading on a similar path I mean when the Washington Wizards don’t see you as part of their future plans where else is there to go with $100 million in the bank I’m sure he won’t want to go play in China where he’ll be paid like 5% of

His current salary then with all the fame he’s had earlier in his career and the pride he has I’m not sure if he’d be willing to come off the bench for non-championship contending teams but whatever the case is here’s something hilarious that happened recently for those who think it all went

Downhill for pool following that Infamous spat with Draymond where he supposedly called him an expensive backpack for curry here’s a Twist Brandon pimsy recently gave Draymond a piece of his mind during a scrimmage and Draymond took it well the internet had a field day with this with fans commenting

Jordan pool cannot believe what he’s reading N
