Poole is a more inspirational player in the league in the past two years, from the 28th pick in the first round to now become one of the main players of the team, to be honest, the speed of progress is actually quite fast, and the progress is also very large. It only took Three or Two seasons for Poole to become an indispensable member of the Warriors now, and it is more and more outstanding in the second half of the season, and it is reasonable that 95% of his players can't do this growth. Where is the upper limit of Poole's truth? Can he be the next Steven Curry at the Warriors?
In fact, Poole's biggest improvement in the past two years has two aspects, one is the enhancement of projection ability, and the other is the growth of technical ability! Projection has nothing to say, Poole is slowly becoming the most like Curry player in this league, and now the shooting is very graspive, the three-point shot is smoothed up and Curry, it is also a series of goals, a bit of a superstar feeling. And Poole did not idle on the three-pointer, he began to hone his skills, breakthroughs, throws, mid-range and said that some delicate passes, he began to slowly improve, although the technical ability is not up to the top, but obviously compared to before, he is currently up more than one level.
Is there a ceiling on that Poole? This thing is not easy to say, the recent game Poole let go of the whip is also able to easily cut down 30+ players, the data is also very explosive, but just a month or two of the outbreak can not say too much, Poole still needs almost half a season of testing, that time to really see his ceiling. Can Poole be Curry of the next Warriors? Obviously, the direction of the Warriors to cultivate Poole is to go according to Curry's template, many people still feel that Poole has not reached Curry's level, this is certain, but it should be clear that Poole is only 23 years old at present, and no one can grow to in the future, but now, as long as he studies the system and tactics a little bit in the Warriors, Curry's position will sooner or later be his.
But Poole's shortcomings are also prominent, defense is a big problem, now may not be obvious, because the Warriors' current defensive strategy is unlimited change of defense and rapid rotation, Poole ate the dividends of the team's defense, so it is impossible to see the big loophole in his defensive ability, and in fact, Poole's single defense ability is very poor. When he was the team's main controller, Poole's turnover rate was high, the position of the stoppage was always unreasonable, and the attributes of the sticky ball were also high. But these are all detailed things, the most important thing is that Poole has not yet encountered a targeted defense, and no team will arrange a set of defensive strategies specifically for him before the game, which means that Poole still needs to be tested.
This season, the Warriors will most likely give Poole a contract in advance, how big is it? The 100 million yuan contract will certainly not be given, but the annual salary of 10 million yuan will certainly not be able to hold back. 20 million a year may be the most suitable annual salary for Poole, if Poole's strength is enough, then after three or four years the Warriors will have a large maximum salary contract left to him, if his strength is not enough, the future may only be a tens of millions of level guard. But either way, it's already remarkable that Poole was able to make that achievement from a player with the 28th pick in the first round.
