"Poole, Cut Steven"
It may seem like a joke, but it also tells the super evolution that Jordan Poole can see with the naked eye.
After winning the Nuggets yesterday, the Warriors have taken a 3-0 lead and have almost announced their advance to the next round.
In this series, the starting Poole can be said to have played a crucial role, in the past three games, Poole has scored at least 25 points per game (30, 29, 27 points in three games), becoming the 16th player in NBA history to score 25+ in each of the first three playoff games of his career, and only Chamberlain in 1960 has done it in warrior history.
In view of the explosive performance of his teammates, Anderson even forwarded a report released by the US media CombineSports that after Pooler's 19-year draft was selected, CBS draft analysts commented on Poole's video, with the text: "Laugh to death." ”
The content of the video is roughly like this, the analyst in front of the TV set solemnly told everyone that the choice of Poole is the worst choice of this draft, but also specifically emphasized that there is no offense to Poole's meaning;
Just want to tell everyone that Poole's ceiling is at most a very ordinary rotation player, that's all, he is a fluke to enter the draft draft...
Good guys, I'm direct good guys, I would like to call it the strongest punch in history, see this analyst a serious nonsense, the social death and the non-social death are silent.
Admittedly, Poole's college performance was indeed average, averaging 12.8 points per game in his sophomore year, shooting 43.6 percent from the field, 36.9 percent from three-point range and 83.3 percent from the free throws.
But you can trust the players, but you can always trust the Warriors scouts. From Curry, to Green, to Poole, the Warriors have almost repeatedly selected the backbone of the future team with a very surprising eye. Now it seems that the choice of Poole in the 28th pick in the first round is indeed a batch of incense.
With Poole's crazy evolution, the Warriors now have to start thinking about Poole's contract while starting the playoffs.
His rookie contract is only the last year left, and his annual salary next season is only $3.9 million, which means that his child labor contract is nearing expiration, and according to the current Pooler playoff average of 28.6 points per game and 66.7% shooting rate, the outside world believes that the four-year , $100 million contract may not be a problem. (In the regular season, he averaged 18.5 points, 3.4 boards, 4 assists, 0.8 steals, 44.8% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range, all of which set a career high)
Maybe you think that Poole has just finished his rookie contract and won a 100 million yuan contract is not easy to take too big a step to get to the egg, but fans who watched this series may know better that Poole's growth is much greater than people expected;
In G3 against the Nuggets, with 3 minutes left in the game, Poole was sitting on the bench during the timeout to "lecture" the players. It's not anyone else, it's Curry, Dreamcatcher, Clay, Wiggins, the four big brothers...
Without a strategic position for future core members, Cole would not allow a role player to "do whatever he wants" in his position.
Offseason is afraid that Golden State will try to renew the lads! I hope that this cup of Poole can also be more and more soaked, and it will not live up to the Qing!
