Jordan Poole Stats

Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob considered guard Jordan Poole "the odd man out" when it came to this offseason's trade for Chris Paul with the Washington Wizards. In reference to the prior tension between Poole and Draymond Green, Lacob believes "it could have worked out". "But I think it is fair to say that in order to make the team work next year, to make the numbers work and so on, someone probably was gonna be the odd man out", Lacob stated in regard to Poole. Golden State's rotation would have featured quite a crowded backcourt had Poole been retained alongside Paul. Instead, the 24-year-old rising star will have a chance to shoulder the offensive load in D.C. with little competition for usage around him in 2023-24.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole is backed by former teammate Andre Iguodala to have a big year in 2023-24. "He averaged 20 last year, on a bad year. He's going to get to the line. He's the only one who got to the line for us last year consistently," Iguodala said on the "Gil's Arena" podcast. "People act like he had a bad year. I'm like, 'OK, a bad year? Y'all blamed him for the year we had last year and he averaged 20.' [He will average] 25-plus, easy." Poole notched 20.4 points per game last term while averaging five free throws a night. It was the best scoring output of his four-year career despite Poole hitting only 33.6 percent of his triples, so he certainly has the potential to do a lot more in Washington.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole was traded to the nation's capital for an aging Chris Paul ,who is nearing the end of his career. According to Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area, there were some executives that didn't support sending away the 24-year-old guard because it meant swapping him for someone "with so little remaining career." Poole is believed to have star potential, while the Warriors aging core added another older piece to the roster. Only time will tell who ended up getting the better end of this trade.

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole is being traded to the Washington Wizards in exchange for point guard Chris Paul. The Warriors are also including a 2030 protected first-round pick and a 2027 second-rounder in the deal. Poole joins a Wizards team engaging in a full-on rebuild after stripping down its star power via the recent Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis trades. The 24-year-old combo guard's usage should go through the roof in Washington and has handled added responsibility fairly well on occasions as a primary ball handler in the past. Poole has accumulated 25.9 points, 5.3 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game in 43 games without Stephen Curry since 2021-2022. Fantasy managers should expect numbers of similar caliber in D.C.
