This season, the Warriors have three players averaging more than 15 points per game. In addition to Curry and Wiggins, Jordan Poole became the Warriors' third-placed scorer this season. Jordan Poole has averaged 17.5 points per game this season. This is his third season in the league. And his average score per game has improved every season, and this season his stats seem to be worthy of a starting position.
As Jordan Pooler plays better and better, the future issue of his contract extension is also worth pondering for the Warriors management. From the current point of view, the Warriors' salary structure is completely unable to renew Jordan Pooler. And today, when Iguodala talked about Jordan Pooler, he bluntly said that Jordan Poole's ability is worthy of an annual salary of twenty million US dollars. This remark did create a problem for the Warriors management. If the Warriors choose to renew Jordan Poole,000,000 will have to make a big deal at the starting level. And the Warriors probably won't make that choice.
We can't deny that Jordan Pooler's personal abilities are good. But fans who actually watch Warriors games should have a clear understanding that Jordan Pooler may not be effective in the Warriors after going to other teams. His performance could plummet. Why? Let's take a closer look at it.
Today's Warriors away to challenge the Pelicans, this game Curry is out of the game due to injury, originally this game should be a game of Poole's big explosion, but After the end of the game, Poole's stats are only 11 points and 5 assists. And the shooting percentage is very low, a total of 14 shots only hit 3, 9 shots outside the three-point line 2 shots. Why is Jordan Poole so volatile? In fact, it is largely because of Curry's absence today.
After Curry's absence, you will find that the Warriors' offensive space has become very crowded. They don't have the very open offensive space they had before, which causes Jordan Poole to further compress his breakout line and space outside his three-point line. Today, Jordan Pooler's breakthrough line is often assisted by two people, and he can't easily burst to the basket. In terms of outside projection, they don't get good opportunities on the outside because of the lack of Curry, and Jordan Poole rarely shoots from the middle distance, so his scoring will become very difficult. It's all a knock-on effect because of Curry's absence. Including today Wiggins is also playing sluggish outside the three-point line, which is also a matter of space.
So Jordan Poole has to re-examine whether he can continue his performance in the Warriors if he leaves the Warriors. Of course, for players his age, big contracts are also very important. So again, the Warriors may have a hard time keeping Jordan Pooler if he insists on finding a big contract.
