The Jordan Poole trade will be considered one of the worst of all time (alien.top)

Despite his defensive shortcomings, he’s shown elite shotmaking in the playoffs and is only 24. In my opinion, his ceiling is enormous. I can’t understand why people are praising the Warriors trading him for a 38 year old CP3.

I do believe Poole will be better in Washington where he’s the main option (along with Kuzma). The thing is with JP, he makes a lot of poor reads and his shot selection/defense needs a lot of work (which again, he could achieve playing in Washington). Routinely he’d double dribble or shoot 30 footers with 17 seconds on the shot clock when he wasn’t nearly efficient enough to justify taking them
