I’m curious to know who do you think is a better player Chris Paul or Jordan Poole? I think Jordan Poole is better because he scores more points and is young with potential and hasn’t hit his prime yet. Whereas, Chris Paul is older and scores less points and has already passed his prime.

My calendar is telling me its October. So its definitely Chris Paul.

Chris Paul is a much, much, much better player than Jordan Poole. And he also fits the Warriors needs much better than JP.

Chris Paul is one of the best point guards of all time. In his role, he is one of the best.

JP is a mediocre scorer. Even at what he is supposed to be doing, he is very inconsistent.I liked him in the 22 championship, but just because he can score more points doesn't make him good at his role. They were hoping he would mature faster and become the second unit leader but it was way too soon for him. CP3 fits that role much better.

Considering Poole is a an ass chucking no defense score hard, and Paul is an old game manager shot creating master.

I’d prob take Poole 1 to 1 currently. But it isn’t like that. Paul is better on the Warriors.

I'd rather have Jordan Poole on my team if I knew he was going to be on every night. But in reality he's a streaky, feast-or-famine player who makes a lot of mistakes and I'd rather have the steadiness of Chris Paul on this roster right now.

CP is clearly better at every aspect of the game except for scoring.

If you're judging Poole on who he could be, in the future, then don't you have to judge CP3 on who he was?

The Warriors are almost certainly better with CP3 than they would be with Poole, assuming CP3 stays healthy. CP3 makes the guys around him better, and that matters, especially with the young guys the Warriors have.

Poole might turn into a fringe all-NBA guy. I don't really expect it, but I won't be surprised if it happens. If I was a bad team building for the future, I would absolutely want Poole on my team.

But trying to win now? You want CP3. No-brainer.
