Jordan Poole has been playing for the Golden State Warriors since draft day in 2019.

In the first three seasons of his career, he has continually gotten better and better.

In his opening season, he was averaging 8.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.

His second year averaged 12 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.9 assists.

Then he stepped it up in a huge way this year, putting up 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Poole’s rise to to stardom is no surprise.

He himself knew what was in store for him all the way back on draft day.

Following his selection in the draft, a reporter asked if he’d become a “splash nephew” playing alongside Klay Thompson and Steph Curry.

“Something like that,” Poole said at the time.

He added: “I’m definitely a little young but I’m splash something for sure.”

That certainly ended up being the case.

 

Poole Party

Poole is now playing in his first playoffs and he’s been making every game count.

His average is 17 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists.

He has started in 5 of 21 games and has impressed fans and viewers with some phenomenal shot selection and impressive three-pointers.

In fact, he nailed an incredible trey during Game 5, sinking a wild shot right as the third quarter ended.

Fans of the Warriors have fallen in love with Poole but now the entire league and millions more are able to see just how special he is.

The best thing about Poole on the Warriors is that head coach Steve Kerr has found a great place for him.

Some people feared there wouldn’t be space for Poole considering the team already has some of the best shooters in the league.

But Kerr has made it work and Poole’s work has only made the team so much stronger.
