At the age of 23, he won the championship and signed the highest salary, but at the age of 24, he was demoted to the bench, and he couldn't do anything without the Warriors?

The best relationship between players and the team is to achieve each other, such as Jordan to the Bulls, Kobe Bryant to the Lakers, not only superstars, some seemingly ordinary players, but also the team, the most typical of which is Jordan Poole and the Warriors.

For Poole, even though he has only been in the Bay Area for four years, it has been the most important and pivotal journey of his career.

Without the Warriors' insight, he might not have been drafted in the first round;

Without the Warriors' persistence and trust, he would not have had the 21-22 season, shining in the NBA;

After the return of the Splash Brothers, the Warriors' offensive and defensive system has also been re-established, they have found the chemistry of the past to keep winning, in this environment, Poole has also obtained great gains, especially on the offensive end, the performance is quite sharp, averaging 18.5 points per game, true shooting rate of 59.8%, only 0.3 percentage points lower than Curry, is one of the most efficient backcourts in the league at the time, in the absence of Curry, or poor play, Poole can always step up.

And the way he finished the game was also similar to Curry's, strong rapid counterattack, accurate long-range guidance, for a while, there have been rumors of "Poole fragrant, cut Stephen", although it is just a stalk, but it can be seen that in the hearts of Bay Area fans, Poole has been recognized, and in the 2022 offseason, the Warriors did not think too much about it and directly provided him with a maximum salary of $140 million for 4 years.

For the Warriors, Poole's appearance is like a ray of sunshine in the dark, he may not shine on the once glorious Bay Area, but it is enough to be a catalyst for restarting the team's chemistry, winning the championship in 22, Curry is undoubtedly the most credited, but then there is Poole, that summer, it averaged 17 points per game, the true shooting percentage of the team is second only to Kevon Looney, and the irreplaceable value VORP is as high as +0.7, second only to Stephen Curry.

Originally, this mutual achievement would continue for a few years, but with Green's punch, everything changed, Poole stepped on a flight to Washington, aiming to establish his dynasty in that "wild land", to be honest, this time many people stood on Poole's side, everyone felt that after getting enough ball possession and tactical position, Poole would definitely play an All-Star level performance and smack Green with a big mouth, but what was the result? Poole, who doesn't have a Warrior buff bonus, is really at the level of a sixth person.

The Wizards' backcourt, there are not many cards that can be played out, for a long time Poole and Tyus Jones partnered, and the latter is a traditional point guard who focuses on passing, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Poole to show his full strength, but unfortunately, he has enough ball, but he has no ability to make reasonable conversions, the ball is often broken, the breakthrough is often covered, and the shot is often iron.

After a season, Poole, who enjoys a 26.4% ball possession rate, only handed over a report card of 17.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.4 assists, shooting 41.7% from the field, 33.2% from three-point range, and 52.9% from the true field.

In the Warriors, Poole is more on the weak side of the singles, facing less defensive pressure, in addition, the Warriors' defense is also better, can be exchanged for a lot of fast break opportunities, which is really random for Poole, who starts quickly, but when it comes to the Wizards, he has to face elite-level defenders every night, in front of these people, Poole's poor confrontation, dribbling, and lack of explosiveness are exposed, and from time to time he is trapped, which makes him have no time to react.

In the last few games of the season, the Wizards directly stripped Poole of his starting position, obviously, in the eyes of Washingtonians, he is no longer one of the cornerstones of the team, it is worth mentioning that this summer the Wizards have drawn the list again, no matter who comes in the end, Poole's tactical position will definitely be affected.
