When Poole scored a game-high 32 points in his comeback opening game, he proved he had the ability to become a star-level player, but Thompson is about to return and the Warriors will have a sweet trouble. The Warriors have a "Curry + Thompson + Poole" three-shot combination in the backcourt, and how to use them together will be a nerve-wracking problem for Kerr.
Green praised Pooler, "Poole went to the game and made the right decision, fantastic. In fact, After Thompson returns, he needs to make some adjustments, Thompson is likely to return on January 10, and the Warriors need Poole's offensive ability, but also need to give Thompson time and space to adapt and adjust.
Kerr admits to having a squad of Curry, Thompson and Poole, with all three of them at the heart of the backcourt, and they all have a certain amount of possession. It's a headache for any defense.
"I'm sure that's going to happen," Cole said. "It's going to be a great shooting lineup and when Thompson comes back we'll consider a lot of different combinations. But Poole played great tonight. ”
Poole averaged 17.8 points per game in his third season, making him the Golden State Warriors' third-placed scorer, with Curry in first place and Wiggins second. According to records, Thompson averaged 18.4 points per game in his third season, no doubt very similar to Poole.
Poole always knew that Thompson would be the starter when he returned, and he needed to return to the sixth man role. However, Poole should know that his average playing time of 29 minutes per game is relatively stable, no matter who enters the team's rotation lineup, it will not change much, and how to match the three-gun lineup needs to be adjusted by Kerr.
