What team(s) do you think could get the most out of Jordan Poole? (alien.top)

While his contract makes it so that the Wiz will not get anything of value for him, I firmly believe there are situations where he can still be a valuable contributor on a team for a long time, and even become a beloved player to a franchise (see Bobby Portis in MIL, Naz Reid MIN, Clarkson UTA, Monk SAC), he just needs the right situation. What teams could you see fulfilling that?

If the assumption is he can’t cut it as a primary or secondary option, he could fit in with a team that has two clear cut options ahead of him, or a strong supporting cast, so most contenders.

But the fact that we’re comparing Pool to Bobby Portis, Naz Reid, Clarkson and Monk shows how far he has dropped this season.

Clarkson career arc is feeling like his ceiling right now

Except Clarkson is an awesome teammate and is loyal.

I'd keep Clarkson over Poole any day

Yep Poole’s contract averages 30 mill a year Monk is making 7 mill

He’s a bench scorer. The warriors role for him was actually solid but he just sucked last season. Doesn’t seem to be serious enough to constantly play at the level he should be capable of.
