Flashes of finishing

Jordan Poole has shown that he is more than just a spot shooter. In limited minutes, he flashes the ability to get to the rim and finish. Skip ahead to about a 1:20 mark into the video. Poole decides he’s not going to take the ball screen then blows by his defender with a pretty hesitation and finishes with the reverse layup.

Skip down to 58 seconds on this video, Poole makes a great euro step and finishes with the right hand against Ohio State.

According to Synergy Sports Jordan Poole is currently shooting 92.3 percent on 25 attempts this season on around the basket shots that aren’t post ups. So basically, Poole is shooting about 90 percent on layups driving to the hoop.
