A new season of sports
When Chris Paul was traded for Jordan Poole in the offseason, Wizards fans thought they had picked up a big bargain. But after only 51 games played, Wizards fans are already a little unbearable. Poole averaged less than 16 points per game, making him one of the least efficient scorers in the league. And he has been targeted by O'Neill and has become an important five embarrassment material ** businessmen. How did a young man who once excited Warriors fans become the way he is now?
Now we can revisit Poole's Warriors career, where he averaged 20 per game last season4 points 45 assists. Green's punch to him skewed many people's perception of Poole. It's as if his inefficiency is caused by not being happy playing in the Warriors and bent on leaving. Now it seems that Poole can play a 20+ season, and Library's gravity has a role. Now out of Curry's asylum, Poole will face difficult circumstances on his own.
Another reason why Poole didn't perform as well as expected was that he didn't have the maturity of mind yet. The reason Poole has so many abstract moments is because he can't stay focused on the court. Unable to focus, Poole's turnover count remains high. In less than 30 minutes played, Poole averaged more than two turnovers per game.
Another reason is obviously the lack of talent in the Wizards as a whole. The Wizards are currently only better than the Pistons, conceding 124 points per game and bottom of the league in rebounding. Therefore, the Wizards' difference is all-round, and Poole is in such a difficult environment, it is impossible to perform well. Stephen Curry's 20-21 season was the ultimate star-led team, and Poole can't do it now. Kuzma can only be a three-man or even a four-man in a championship team, and it is ironic that such a player can be the boss in the Wizards.
And in Poole's explosion, the Wizards management is also to blame. Wall 4 years 1700 million, Bill 5 years 25.1 billion, Poole 4 years 1400 million, the accuracy of the Wizards' stepping on thunder is comparable to that of China**. And when it comes to piling up talent, the Wizards' management has also failed a lot. In the past five years, they have missed out on real talents such as Haliburton, Maxey, Shin Kyung and Jalen Williams in the draft, and the best player selected is actually 3D Avdija. Isn't it ironic that the best draft of the team with the worst defense in the league is actually 3D?
Now the difference between the Wizards and Poole is complementary and mutually causal, and no one is immune. With such an abstract Poole, the Wizards will have it until 2027, and it is uncomfortable for the Wizards to think about it.
