As the saying goes: people can't look good, people can't look good. "I also think Poole can average more than 30 points per game, maybe he can win a scoring title, who knows he can play so badly. Renowned NBA reporter Zach Lowe said.
"The Wizards are a terrible team, Poole is averaging worse points per game than last season, and they're playing really badly! At the beginning of the season, Garnett praised Poole, saying, "He's going to be the second Harden." Garnett was taken aback by Poole's reaction, and he yelled at Poole for being a piece of shit, and that he didn't qualify for the NBA at all!
Poole was traded away by the Warriors last summer, and many people believe that he can use his strength to give the team a resounding slap in the face. Poole himself has repeatedly said that the Wizards are one of his teams. Halfway through the game, they finished last in the West with a 6-29 record, only slightly behind the Pistons, and Poole, a very bad player!

With an overall score of 52%, he ranked 256. The final score of this game was -16, which is last in the league. Average -10 per game1. Last place in the league.
Let's not forget, last season, Poole's average points per game in Golden State was 204。And now, he came to the Wizards and got an unrestricted chance, but his score is constantly declining. Brunson, on the other hand, has only become the new owner of the Knicks in the last two years. Brunson is averaging 25 points per game7,3.8 rebounds, 63 assists, 1 block, and 3 three-pointers were 476%,43.9%,83.2%。
Brunson now has four years of 1$0.4 billion contract, Poole four-year 1$2.8 billion, up to $140 million. In 2018, Brunson and Poole earned 33 and 28, respectively. The two started as newcomers, with a single-digit average score, and then slowly climbed up from the bench and eventually got a big contract to a new team.
Now, Brunson has become a valuable star, and Poole has become a valuable star. Poole isn't good at difficult games, and he often makes mistakes under a high-pressure defense, averaging just 10 points in the regular season last season3 points. In last season's playoffs, in the Knicks vs Miami game, Brunson played 6 games, got 4 30+ contributions, and scored 41 points on one occasion!
In the 2021-22 season, Poole played for the Golden State Warriors, averaging 185 points 34 rebounds and 4 assists, while Brunson played for Dallas with 163 points 39 rebounds 48 assists. It's only been more than two years, why do you think Brunson can surpass Poole?
