Earlier, NBA 2K22 announced the update of the latest issue of the player ability value, in this season ushered in a strong outbreak of warrior guard Jordan Pooler, 2K ability value has reached the fifth 81, second only to Dream Green (83), Wiggins (83), Klay Thompson (83) and Curry (96), can and Wiggins, Klay, Dream Chasing these three teams The absolute main gap is so small, it can be seen that 2K companies still recognize Poole's excellent performance this season.
Pooler, who ushered in the third year of his career this season, at the beginning of the season with Klay's absence, once sat firmly in the Warriors' starting No. 2 position, successively blasted out 20+ points, scoring second only to Curry, once ranked second in the team's scoring list, although after Clay's comeback, Poole returned to the bench and was lost, but Kerr still gave him enough trust, and even directly put him back on the starting line-up, so that the team played the main "3 guards" lineup, and Poole, who regained the starting point, also immediately found the previous excellent state. The last time Poole scored less than 20+ is back to March 2, when the Warriors lost to the Timberwolves on the road, Ande scored just 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting in the 26 minutes of playing time.
But since that game, Poole has become the most stable backcourt player in the Warriors' lineup, throughout March, Poole has hit 67 three-pointers, the highest in the league, and in the last game of March, although the Warriors lost to the Suns, Poole scored a season-high 38 points, so that he has scored 20+ in 15 consecutive games, and only Curry and Durant have more consecutive games in the history of the Warriors in the past 30 years. So far, Poole has played a total of 71 games for the Warriors, second only to the main center Rooney, ranking second on the team, in 29.8 minutes of playing time, can average career-best 18.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists, three shooting rates to 45.2%, 36.6% and 91.7%, of which the free throw shooting rate is second only to Curry (92.3%), ranking second in the league.
To know that Poole's salary this season is only 2.16 million, after entering the Warriors with the 28th pick in the first round in 19 years, he is still fulfilling his 4-year rookie contract of 10.09 million, and this "child labor salary" can only rank 11th in the Warriors' all-team salary list, but it is such a "child laborer" who has become the Warriors' current top three scorer, which has to make people sigh, Kerr does have his own set of experience in digging up these underdog players.
Although Poole has indeed ushered in a storm in the near future, but the Warriors' recent situation is not optimistic, after the last loss to the Suns, they have suffered a wave of 4 consecutive losses in the recent past, currently only with a record of 48 wins and 29 losses in the West, only ahead of the sixth Nuggets and seventh Timberwolves 2 wins, in the case of Curry's regular season reimbursement, if the Warriors want to keep their position in the top half, Poole really needs to continue to maintain their stable play.
No matter what the end of the Warriors this season, Poole's outbreak is definitely a big gain for them, but it is estimated that it is unrealistic to want him to continue to take the basic salary money to do high-paying work after that, as far as Poole's excellent performance this season, he is absolutely worthy of a salary of 20-25 million, if the Warriors can't keep him, Poole will definitely be a steamed bun that multiple teams will scramble for in the offseason.
