Title: From cornerstone to abandonment, Poole's 30-day end with the Wizards ended dismal.
Abstract: This article analyzes the dismal process of Jordan Poole's fall from the Warriors' boy to the Wizards' waiver. In just 30 days with the Wizards, Poole's performance was disappointing, with three core indicators of offense, playmaking and defense failing to meet the standards across the board, and he was proven not to be the cornerstone of the team. The article also gives a glimpse into Poole's possible future fate.

The Wizards swallowed a nine-game losing streak in the opening game and sat firmly in the bottom of the East, while Poole, the "cornerstone" player they got by reinforcement, went from core to abandoned in just 30 days!
The warrior prince was reduced to an outcast.
Regarding Poole, he is quite famous in the basketball world. The Warriors "Prince" was once regarded as Curry's best man. In the 2021-22 season, Poole integrated perfectly into the Warriors' system, averaging 185 points, and become an important part of the Warriors' regain of the championship. Bay Area fans have high hopes for him, and the Warriors are willing to offer an annual salary of 1200 million. However, the high salary brought pride, and Poole continued to provoke his teammates, which eventually led to the "Green Incident", which directly led to his departure from the Warriors.
The three major judging criteria were all failing.
At the Wizards, Poole was given a central spot on the team and a grand welcome. However, all expectations were disappointed, and Poole underperformed. In 15 games for the Wizards, Poole contributed 177 points, 27 rebounds, 36 assists and shooting just 396%, 3 points 286%, the data is pitifully weak. A player is usually evaluated on offensive, organisational and defensive criteria. But all three of the Poor's indicators fall short of reasonable levels.
On the offensive end, Poole's shooting efficiency was incredibly low. He is almost at the bottom of the list of players with over 25% usage and arguably one of the worst-performing high-use scorers in the league. In terms of organization, with his position, there are too few assists and frequent turnovers. What's worse is that Poole's defensive negative value is as high as -30, not only the bottom of the team, but also the bottom of the league. How can such data be the cornerstone of the team?
Most likely to be traded.
When the Warriors were at their strongest, Poole could use the space of other stars to blindly output. After coming to the Wizards, the problem was fully exposed. The Wizards' 0-9 opening game is a case in point. Previously, the Wizards had high hopes for Poole, and even served as the new core of the post-Beal. But the 30-day trial period hit Waterloo, and Poole's cornerstone dreams were all but shattered. If it is not possible to show a recovery before the deadline, it is most likely to be traded as an abandon.
