If you have been watching the Golden State Warriors lately then you have gotten to know Jordan Poole.
Poole has been with the team for three seasons now but he’s been a breakout star lately, averaging 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4 assists during the 2021-22 season.
He has not only been creating more points, but he’s also been creating more fans too.

Poole is a lot of fun to watch and that is one of the reasons why he’s become a fan favorite for the team.
He is particularly good at closing out quarters, with a deft ability to somehow always put up one more great shot before the buzzer sounds.
Poole has been steadily building his talent and his presence on the team.
When the new season begins, you can expect to see more of Poole.
Poole Party
Poole is a terrific, exciting guard on a team with two of the best guards in NBA history.
Many expected him to be overshadowed playing alongside Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson but Poole is making a name for himself as a helpful guard with some serious personality and flare.
He allows both of those guys some rest, which is important as they grow older and battle more injuries than usual.
However, some wonder if Poole will eventually want to be traded away and become the centerpiece of a team.
But he is getting more time on the floor.
In the last season, Poole started in 52 games – far and away the most of his career.
This is no coincidence: head coach Steve Kerr sees what the young man is capable of and is using him more often.
Curry and Thompson might be leading the way but Poole is making himself known.
