Jordan Poole, traded to the Washington Wizards after four years with the Warriors, faces a challenging transition this season.
Former NBA star Paul Pierce weighed in on Poole’s slow start, highlighting the difficulties of being the focal point in scouting reports from opposing teams.
Pierce emphasized the adjustment Poole is making as the primary offensive threat, noting the challenges that come with increased defensive attention.
In a recent tweet, Pierce commented, “Jordan Poole finding out how hard it is to be the Man. When the scouting report is all about u, it’s tuff.”
Despite facing struggles in the early games with the Wizards, Poole is averaging 16.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game this season.
Former NBA star Kevin Garnett had previously set high expectations for Poole, predicting that he would become one of the league’s top scorers.
