April is here and the NBA playoffs are already in full swing. The high intensity of the playoffs has always been the touchstone for testing the color of the stars, so the playoffs have also been hailed as the "stage of the superstars", but there is no absolute, and many lonely and unknown players have also achieved themselves through the playoffs and bloomed with dazzling light. The Warriors' Jordan Poole is definitely one of them.
Playoffs matchup chart
Although it was his first time to play in the playoffs, Jordan Poole surprised everyone with his performance: the first two playoff games of his career scored 30 and 29 points respectively!
Jordan Poole (born June 19, 1999 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American professional basketball player who plays as a scoring guard. On June 21, 2019, in the 2019 NBA Draft, Jordan Poole did not pick a high pick in the draft, and was only selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 28th pick in the first round.
Poole, a rookie, was still an explosive head
In the 2019-20 season, Jordan Poole made 57 appearances for the Warriors, averaging 8.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 22.4 minutes per game, shooting 33.3 percent from the field and 27.9 percent from three-point range. Although there are 21 highlight moments in a single game, the overall efficiency of the rogue is too low, and many fans will surely say that this guy will definitely be eliminated by the league.
In the 2020-21 season, Jordan Pooler averaged 19.4 minutes per game for the Warriors, scoring 12.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists, shooting 43.2 percent from the field, 35.1 from three-point range, and 88.2 percent from the free throw line. Jordan Poole seems to have made good progress: all the data are improving, and all the shooting rates are steadily improving.
The shooting posture is quite handsome
In the 2021-22 season, Jordan Poole got more opportunities to play, averaging 30 minutes per game, 18.5 points + 3.4 rebounds + 4.0 assists, shooting 44.8% from the field, 36.5% from three-point range, and 92.5% from the free throw line (the league's first). The highest professional score of 38 points is also obtained this year, this year is undoubtedly Jordan Pooler's biggest improvement year, he has undergone a qualitative leap, scoring ability is getting stronger, shooting rate is more and more stable, shooting ability is getting stronger and stronger. His rise has also successfully compensated for the Lack of Firepower caused by Clay's absence, and with his help, the Warriors have also changed from last year's lotto team to a strong contender for the championship.
Dunks I will too
In the playoffs, Poole continued his highlight moments, G1 all-game Poole shot 9 of 13, efficiently cut 30 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound. G2 29 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. With 59 points in the first two games of the playoffs, the Warriors hit ten three-pointers after Chamberlain in history! The first person in NBA history.
Finally, I hope that Poole will play better and better to help the Warriors go further, do you think the Warriors will win the championship this season? As Poole progresses, will the Warriors succeed in keeping him behind? Welcome to leave a message together.
