Jordan Poole, PG/SG, Freshman, Michigan

Season stats: 11.3 minutes per game, 6 PPG, 44%FG, 37% from 3, 78% FT, 0.5 assists, 1 rebound, 0.5 steals, and 0.6 TO’s

NBA skills: Length and athletic ability

At 6-foot-4 Poole will hopefully transition into more of a lead guard role, instead of the wing he currently plays. If Poole transitions to become a lead guard his height and length will be great for the NBA. Even though there isn’t an official wingspan out on Poole, he does have long arms and legs.

He’s a very explosive leaper, Poole’s leaping ability can be seen in this block made in a game against UC Riverside in late January.

Poole showcases his speed here. check out Poole’s speed look at this blow by and dunk against Detroit in December.
