After 10 games in these 2023 playoffs, it is an understatement to say that Jordan Poole is disappointing on the Golden State side.
Apart from two good games, in Game 4 against the Grizzlies and in Game 1 against the Lakers, the rest of the postseason is currently very complicated for the Warriors’ combo guard.
He thus only runs at 11.6 points, 3.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds on average, at 36% success rate including 29% at 3-points. Last year, after 10 playoff games, he posted 20.0 points, 5.1 assists and 3.4 rebounds on average, with 53% success, including 43% from afar! Difficult for Golden State to hope to defend its title with a Jordan Poole at this level…
“We are all extremely confident in what he brings to us, in what he can do on the pitch and in staying positive, especially in the way he approaches the game.repeats Stephen Curry. “That’s what I like about him. He has a lot of energy and whether he hits or misses his shots, he will bring it. »
Is Jordan Poole better targeted by the defenses because now expected? Is he frustrated with his role and his minutes, as Stephen Curry seemed to feel in the preparation for Game 7 of the series against the Kings?
What is certain is that the double MVP knows that the Warriors need to find the spark Jordan Poole.
“You have to persevere, because you will be rewarded in the end and above all because we have great confidence in what he brings us and in what he is capable of doing”, concludes Stephen Curry.
