Jordan Poole had a challenging season with the Golden State Warriors, highlighted by disputes with veteran Draymond Green and playoff struggles against the Los Angeles Lakers. Following these events, Poole found himself traded to the Washington Wizards in the offseason.
Despite last season’s hurdles, there’s a growing sense of hope for the offensive 24-year-old shooting guard as he approaches the new season. With the Wizards, Poole is anticipated to get more chances to score and operate with more freedom on the court.
Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett is notably optimistic about the recently-acquired Wizards guard. On “KG Certified,” Garnett not only praised Poole but also likened him to one of the best offensive players of all-time in James Harden.
“Jordan Poole is the new James Harden… I look for Jordan Poole to be top five in scoring this year. And if he don’t shoot more than 25 balls, I’ll be shocked.”
