Washington Wizards head coach Brian Keefe praised Jordan Poole’s defense/efficiency after Wednesday’s 133-120 home win vs. the Atlanta Hawks (24 points/3 rebounds/9 assists/3 steals/6-17 FG/4-9 3-PT/8-8 FT/+14 +/-).
(via Washington Wizards):
“I’ve talked about the defense for Jordan, to me has been the most impressive thing. Him getting in there, digging balls out, steals, being active. The offensive stuff, I know he can do that. Obviously, he’s been efficient. He carried us, kept us afloat in the first half, and that’s what your big (name) guys have to do. They gotta keep you (in) when you’re struggling, and we were struggling a little bit. He kept us in that game, made us a little push at that end of the quarter, gave us some life. So, Jordan’s been great.”
