The Wizards might be better than expected this year.

Poole is empty stats. Regardless of the situation he quit on his team fully , he doesn’t play any defense, he’s always been an extreme shot chucker , and his decision making just isn’t good when running the show.

Can he get better? Sure he can, but I would want no part of him. His archetype just doesn’t net winning scenarios. He’s a great bench player if you have him for cheap, but once he’s paid and has to be a starter he can’t be in the top 3 players on your team if you’re going to compete to win.

Can’t play 0 defense and turn the ball over like mad and win, just look at harden? Guy was a far better version of what he hopes to be and has been a catalyst to why his team loses in the playoffs often.
