Looking at Jordan Poole game logs and it would be great if he could average 20 points on 20 shots under 40% fg.

Antoine Walker did it 2 years in a row. Legend.

quote:

WASHINGTON -- It's not like Jordan Poole had zero experience being a primary scoring option during his days with the Golden State Warriors. There were times on relatively rare occasions when Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were both hurt, when Poole had more responsibility in the offense.

But those times were always temporary and so far through a month of regular season games in Washington, a new reality has set in. Teams have Poole at or near the top of the scouting report every single night. Opposing coaching staffs devise their defensive schemes around stopping him.

For instance, after Poole erupted for 41 points in only three quarters against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden during the preseason, New York overloaded on Poole in their first regular season matchup last week. As he tells it, any time he drove to the basket he saw three defenders closing in.

It's the less-fun side of being a franchise player and it's new to Poole, who this season is averaging 17.1 points per game while shooting 39.5% from the field. But he has found a positive in this step of the journey.

"I've seen a lot of coverages, a lot of different coverages. It's honestly really cool. It just makes you learn as a player, it makes you grow, go back and watch film," Poole said.

I think Cade is fine as a swiss army knife player. He can help you a bunch of different ways but he can't be your engine. Jaden Ivey...might...get there but he's looking more like a combo guard, best off the bench kinda dude. So the Pistons have nobody who can actually generate offense, just a bunch of ball watchers.

Put Cade on a team where he can be the 3rd guy and fill in different roles and he'd probably look like a solid starter. Maybe not a star so in that way a bust but he's still a good player.

Yeah that's pretty much what I meant. Being a serviceable 3rd option is a bust condition for a #1 overall pick with that much hype.

Also lol at that Poole gif. I need to see a Kuz and Poole spinoff of Key and Peele.
