2nd worst on-off for the wizards is Mike Muscala at -25.3, but he has only played 64 minutes so far. The next worst is Tyus Jones at -23.5 with 381 minutes played, so Poole is -14.2 worse per 100 possessions than the next worst player getting starter minutes on his team. Has there ever been a player more detrimental towards winning than JP has been this season? I've legitimately never seen a comparably nightmarish on-off for a starter on any team in any season. Not a single player on any of the process 6ers rosters came close to half as poor of an on-off.

after draymond hit him he lost his braincells

It's harder when curry is not tripled teamed

[–] TheShoopinator@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

As a wizards fan I’m loving the tank right now. Finally we are going to get some good draft picks and build the team the right way, hopefully.

[–] techiesbesthero@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

you're gonna take that 7th pick and you're gonna like it

[–] MasterOfSwag9000@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That pick is reserved for the Pistons

[–] WestleyThe@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was the bulls spot

[–] fattymcribwich@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah Bulls got dibs on seventh, hands off.

Give me mediocre pick or give me death

It’s been about 15 years since we last traded away all our vets and embraced the tank

Introducing top draft picks to Jordan “Legacy Secured” Poole prolly is not a good idea.

Shit as this point I’d take prime smush parker over poole

[–] Charming_Essay_1890@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

People forget, Smush wasn't complete garbage like the narrative Kobe spread. He wasn't great, but you'd be fine if he was a backup point getting 15 minutes a game.

[–] borb--@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

there's so many players in the NBA that could do a better job than Poole in his position, I remember when the wizards signed him thinking they should have just got the G-league guy Trevelin Queen since he's a better player imo and basically free. Who ever runs the Wizards straight up does not know ball.

I’ve waited so long for this kids downfall. Thank god it’s finally here

What is it like to actively cheer for other people to fail?

[–] QUINNFLORE@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I only do it with people that I know inevitably will fail. When it finally happens it is so satisfying

[–] makemakemake@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Dude is 24 and sitting on about $150 million on career earnings. He's been infinitely more successful anyone in this sub will ever be

[–] dirtydennehy@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Fun, entertaining, cathartic. Try it.

[–] secrestmr87@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hating players and teams can actually be a lot of fun.

[–] Draniie@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Feels good. Some people deserve to fail due to arrogance, refusal to learn, narcissism etc.

[–] AnitaBath7@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I am rooting for QUINNFLORE to fail. Fuck that kid

[–] QUINNFLORE@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’m already cooked

he's regressed below his rookie form according to BPM... how the fuck is that even possible?

[–] johnniewelker@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He is being asked to do too much.

[–] SG-2000@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Last year the Warriors were -0.8 with him on (-7.0 on/off). And only 36% of the on minutes had Steph with him.

Sorry Wiz.

[–] papertowelrod@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

The amount of hate this guy gets is way disproportional to anything he's ever actually done

[–] Robinsonirish@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I agree. People are just pathetic, jumping on the bandwagon.

so not only the eye test. he is really not playing winning basketball.

[–] Fr0_oz3n@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Guy is obviously better than how he’s playing right now, but he’s eating a lot of humble pie. Hopefully he gets his act together.

[–] pokemonizepic@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I owe an apology to draymond green

[–] birdentap@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

That clip of him not listening to the plays being drawn up during a timeout were pretty telling

[–] maxrod889@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

And then asking about it after 😂😭

Get off your burner donkey

[–] Tipofmywhip@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

stop doing this, OP. This isn’t who we are walks back to bench

[–] Buttholes4Everyone@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I don't get this logic. Everyone but Curry plays alongside Curry. Dray and Klay ain't doing shit on that Wizards team if they joined it.

[–] ikatatlo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

His rookie season all over again. Guess he'll bounce back on his 3rd year again... If he's still in the league that is.

[–] Lasvious@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Can someone please respond and defend Poole again? Draymond was right.

[–] JustMyOpinionz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He's going to make Draymond punching him seem like the right thing to do

[–] blocking-io@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Y'all are so mad at Poole it's actually kinda funny

[–] PersonFromPlace@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I hate his attitude. I feel like he constantly has this gif running in his head whenever he plays: https://tenor.com/search/rap-battle-meme-gifs

[–] attaboy000@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This generation's Nick Young.

[–] StonnorCalions@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Rumor is Kerr put the hit out on Poole because he was an insufferable douchebag

[–] DariosDentist@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He might be a nice reclamation project for an aging team with veteran leadership like the warriors

[–] RVAIsTheGreatest@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That is truly an insane number.

His attitude has been very poor this season but that alone is not the reason for his struggles. He and Tyus don't compliment each other too well as backcourt mates because neither really put pressure on the rim.

Neither offer much defensively. Tyus was 8th percentile on defense last season and he's 3rd percentile this season whereas Poole is 0th. Their games don't really mesh. Poole is at his best with the ball in his hands but is playing predominantly off ball with the Wizards with Tyus and Kuz soaking up most of the ballhandling load. I don't think it's a situation he's going to be at his best, but the question also is whether a team is willing to really hand the keys over to Poole.

Been a rough learning curve for Poole this season and he doesn't appear to have the mentality to dig himself out of the hole.
