Whether Klay Thompson says he is excited to play with Chris Paul, and impatient to be supplied with balloons by him, he is also sad to see his “pupil” leave Jordan Pooleincluded in the famous exchange between Golden State And Washington.
” It hurts to see Jordan leave us… “, regrets the back of the Warriors in the latest episode of the Paul George podcast. ” It’s business, but Jordan was trained here, I saw him work, I saw him shoot 2/15 and then go and take shots directly afterwards in the dungeon, the name we give to our training center because there are no windows. It reminded me of a younger version of myself. »
It is precisely this dedication to the work of Jordan Poole which very quickly made Klay Thompson say that a bright future would await the new back of the Wizards, so precious in the success of the “Dubs” a year ago…
“He’s like a little brother”
” Seeing Jordan walk the same path as me, it made me think this kid was going to be special. “Adds the four-time NBA champion. ” We wouldn’t have won the title without him [en 2022]. It was so important to us when Stephen [Curry] got injured and we faced Denver. Jordan will be loved forever by the Warriors for what he brought. […] It did me good to see him again last week, even if it was weird to see him in the colors of the Wizards. He’s like a little brother. »
As for his future integration with the Washington side, Klay Thompson has no doubt that Jordan Poole will explode for good in the capital, the season of his 24th birthday.
” I know he’s gonna do great things in Washington, […] he will thrive there, I’m happy for him “, he predicts then. ” He definitely has All-Star potential. You saw him all the way to the Finals, when he shot 18 points per game with 50/40/90 completion percentages. It’s hard to do and it’s impressive. I can’t wait to see him play with Kyle Kuzma, it’s going to be the most stylish scorers ever. Washington got a good one, he’s a future All-Star. »
Far from the shadow of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole therefore has a boulevard to become the new leader of these Wizards in reconstruction, at the end of the best statistical season of his career: 20.4 points and 4.5 average assists.
