12 goals, one goal! 11 goals, 2 goals!
This year's NBA is full of strong players, and most of the teams are hoping to enter the playoffs, and there are not even a few championships, so there is no dominant team. As the older generation of stars has not left the peak, a new generation of new stars has emerged, and there are more and more stars, and they are still continuing to conduct the qualifiers. So far, only five teams have won less than 30 percent: Portland, Spurs, Hornets, Wizards and Pistons. The Spurs, Pistons, Hornets, all three teams are young, and they're all youngsters, and they're not trying to improve their performance, they're focused on training.
Portland and Washington are both reconstituted teams, and their strength is difficult to maintain in a short period of time. The Trail Blazers embarked on a new round of restructuring last season with the departure of Lillard, including Ayton, the No. 1 pick, Henderson, Sheldon Sharpe, and Anfernee Simmons, all of whom were good teams. The Wizards are a bit different, they're a restructured team, they don't have a lot of young talent, and most of the rotation players are 25 or even 28-year-old Kuzma. Last season, the Wizards were a playoff team, and two seasons ago, they lost two superstars.
And some time ago, after several transfers, the composition of the talent team can be described as terrible, there are no strong stars, and there are no promising rookies, so they are just unlucky. Last summer, the Wizards made a big trade with the Suns, trading Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, and two second-round picks for Bradley Beal. Washington then traded Paul back from Golden State for Jordan Poole, guard Ryan Rollins, forward Patrick Baldwin, first round of the first round in 2030 (No. 20), and second round of the second round in 2027. All the stuff about Poole, it's just an added bonus, and in simple terms, they made a trade with Bill and Jordan Poole.
At that time, the Wizards' intentions were clear, that is, Poole was a player with a lot of potential, and they wanted Poole to join their team, make Poole their star, and make Poole a member of the Wizards. In fact, as early as when he was with the Warriors, Poole had already shown his talent, his ups and downs and free style were all requirements for ball sense, and when he was with the Warriors, Poole was a player who could jump shots, and his strength improved quickly. Poole made his playoff debut in the '21-22 season, when he was also the first player to make a playoff appearance, averaging 17 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 508% of the three-pointers, 39With 1% threes, he was outstanding. Extremely efficient. That's why Poole is the favorite for the draft, and maybe that's what the Wizards think.
Originally, they thought that it was a good deal to trade Poole to the Wizards, but it turned out to be a lose-lose deal, not only turning the genius into a weak chicken, but also limiting Poole's development, Poole is likely to stay, and it will become easier, after all, he is not a real main force. Poole is averaging 15 per game this season6 points 24 rebounds 36 assists, the basic attributes have dropped significantly compared to last season, the average score is also 5 points less, and his offensive efficiency is also very low, and he is also at the bottom of the league. 39 of them9% of the shooting rate is less than 4%, and the 3-point rate is 297% is less than 3%.This kind of achievement forced the Wizards to have no choice but to replace Kuzma with a new owner.
Poole was in very poor form some time ago, scoring 7 points on 2-of-11 shooting against Minnesota, 4-of-7 shooting against the Suns, 0-of-5 shooting against the Warriors, and 3-pointers on 1-of-12 shooting against Dallas. In the last six games, Poole has averaged just 8 points per game, shooting just 26% on 19-of-72 shooting, 8-of-41 shooting and 1-of-1 from 3-point range! 11 goals, 2 goals! Sorry man, since you got rid of Curry, you've never had a chance to win a championship. Maybe the Wizards didn't expect Poole's performance to be so bad, so they had to admit that their luck was too bad. As for Poole, he has lost himself with the Warriors, and he seems to be hoping for a better way to attack with the Warriors so that he can better regain his game form. All in all, it will be very difficult for Poole to win a championship without Curry.
