You can’t say he exudes joie de vivre in the official photo of his arrival at the Wizards, but Jordan Poole is delighted to discover a new team and to have new responsibilities. On Saturday, he was in the front row to follow the Summer League matches. At his side, Kyle Kumza, his new teammate, extended at a high price by Washington.
And when asked about the impact his run-in with Draymond Green had, here is what he answers : “I’m in Washington now… I’m going to play with Kyle Kuzma, it will be a great duo. We will be able to really flourish, develop our game. It’s a new team, an entirely new group. It is a challenge that we are ready to take up. There is a new front office and a lot of people are involved. Everyone is involved and wants to be here. It’s the start of something and we think it’s going to be special.
He thinks he has proven himself
What will change is that in Washington, he will be the number 1 option in attack, and that he will start at 100%. He will no longer be wandered between the bench and the starting five like at the Warriors.
“You just have to find ways to be efficient and make it work. Whatever is expected of me or asked to do, I feel like I have shown what I could do in any situation, whatever the opportunity presented itself. »
At 24, Jordan Poole will begin his first season away from the stars of the Warriors, but he hasn’t forgotten them. He assures that he is still in contact with them. “I can text Steph. I can text Klay. I can text them all, and just chat” he concludes. “All of this won’t go away, it won’t go anywhere. Besides, I know their systems, and that will be an advantage! »
