As an important addition to the Wizards this summer, Poole once attracted much attention and was also given high hopes by the team management, but as the season deepened, Poole also proved with practical actions that he is indeed a mud that cannot be supported by the wall. So far this season, Poole has played in 21 games for the Wizards, averaging 29 minutes per game and 167 points 25 rebounds and 33 assists, 1 steal, 03 blocks, 40% shooting from the field and 29 from three-point range5% and 86 free throw percentage7%。Both the data and the efficiency have declined significantly compared with last season, and the performance is extremely sluggish.
In addition, Poole's performance on the court is even worse, according to statistics, Poole's overall plus/minus this season has reached -258, ranking first in the league, and his average plus/minus per game has also reached -123. It is still firmly in the bottom of the league. It's worth noting that the league's bottom three pluses and minuses are all from the Wizards, which are Poole's -123. Kuzma's -105 and Jones's -97, and Poole has an absolute "leading position". Under the leadership of the Wizards, this season's Wizards also lived up to expectations with a 3-19 record, ranking only stronger than the Pistons, who have lost 20 in a row.
Despite the team's poor record, it doesn't affect Poole's good sense of self, and he still believes that he is the heart and leader of this Wizards team, and he is also the cornerstone of the team, and he believes that he can lead the current Wizards team out of trouble. But apparently Poole is not hard except for his hard tone, and he is still in trouble. In just a few months after joining the Wizards, he frequently broke out problems such as discord with teammates, discord with the coaching staff, and playing big names.
Poole's various behaviors finally angered the team management, who not only publicly stated that Poole was not the cornerstone of the team, but also bluntly said that he could be traded, and in the case of a quarter of the season, the Wizards management was a little unable to sit still and wanted to trade Poole for this trouble. But apparently there are fewer and fewer teams interested in Poole now, and although he is only 23 years old, his arrogant personality and uncertain mood will be a ticking time bomb, and this season is only 4 years of PooleThe first year of the 400 million contract, and three years left on the future contract. Judging from the current state, it is clear that Poole's cost performance is extremely low.
It turns out that Poole, who left the Warriors, has indeed become unable to play, and after lacking the protection of Curry, Klay and other bigwigs, Poole's performance is also extremely struggling. In stark contrast to the poor performance, Poole's personality is not at all restrained, and even more arrogant. Maybe it's easier to understand the original Dream Chasing Green boxing incident now, and even feel that Dream Chasing punch was too light, and it didn't wake up this young man at all.
Objectively speaking, Poole's current position with the Wizards is already in jeopardy, and he needs to seriously reflect on his actions and re-examine his role and responsibilities. He needs to recognise that a good player not only needs to perform well on the pitch, but also needs to build a good relationship with his team-mates and coaching staff to contribute to the team's victory. If he continues to maintain a self-centered attitude, then he will lose the trust and support of his teammates and coaching staff, and will eventually be eliminated from the team.
What do you think Poole's future holds?
