Which Jordan Poole will the Golden State Warriors be getting?
Jordan Poole has had an interesting playoff run. He’s had games in which he looks absolutely unstoppable and like the next star for Golden State, then he has games where it’s barely noticeable that he’s on the floor.
Oddly enough, it’s the first few games of the series in which Poole’s presence is more noticeable. In the first round, Poole averaged 29 points on 67 percent shooting from the field and 59 percent shooting from 3-point range during the first three games. In the final two games, however, Poole’s averages fell to 10 points per game on 30 percent shooting from the field and 22 percent shooting from 3-point range.
The drop-off in the second round was similar as well. During the first three games, Poole averaged 26 points on 58 percent shooting from the field and 43 percent shooting from 3-point range. During the final three games, Poole’s averages once again fell to 10 points on 27 percent shooting from the field and 18 percent shooting from 3.
Poole’s performance in this series is certainly something to keep an eye on.
