It has been a tough playoffs for Jordan Poole so far. After averaging 17 points (50.8% field goals) in 27.5 minutes per game during last year’s postseason, the 23-year-old shooting guard’s numbers plummeted.
Poole is averaging just 10.5 points (34% field goals) in 21.6 minutes per game during this year’s playoffs.
Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas thinks that the Warriors should consider trading Poole who signed a 4 year, $128 million contract before this year.
Agent Zero was especially frustrated with Poole’s lack of maturity and trying to make fancy plays in Game 3 to the point where he almost committed a turnover.
“Watching Poole right now, I might trade him. … If I can package him and get someone I can rely on, I’m going to try it,” Arenas said on Gil’s Arena, via Grant Marek of SFGATE. “He’s not Steph. He’s not a replacement. He’s showing me this s—t, that’s what he’s showing me.
“He’s supposed to be the best player on the court, right, and he kind of looks like the worst player. He’s the highest paid on this court, and he looks like the worst player.”
