The Golden State Warriors have a knack for finding quality shooters with ease, while the rest of the NBA seemingly struggles to do the same.
After allowing the dynamic duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson to become arguably the best backcourt shooting duo in NBA history, the Warriors found another star player, who could make decent shots from downtown.
Yes, we are talking about none other than Jordan Poole, who spent four seasons with the Warriors before getting traded to the Washington Wizards earlier this season.
Upon his first return to the Chase Center, his former teammate Jonathan Kuminga had a heartfelt message for him via Warriors on NBCS on Twitter.
“That’s family. That’s my guy,” Kuminga said.
"That's family. That's my guy."

Jonathan Kuminga described his former teammate as a member of the family, and if that’s not love, then we don’t know what is.
Despite the cloud of confusion hovering around Poole’s departure from the team, it seems everyone on the Dubs roster is missing the 24-year-old.
Apart from Kuminga, Stephen Curry had an emotional answer to facing Jordan Poole as well.
In addition to that, Kevon Looney went ahead with exchanging jerseys with his former teammate after the game.
Although Poole’s return had a huge impact on current Warriors players, he still couldn’t help the Wizards in winning the matchup.
The game finished with a score of 129-118 in favor of the Warriors, despite Poole putting up 25 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, albeit with a terrible 33.3% shooting from the floor for the Wizards in 27 minutes of playing time.
