Although the Warriors have brought in a lot of reinforcements this offseason, they have recruited four players. But the effect of the current stage is not good. So far, only Hield has been used by the team. Kyle Lee has lost playing time lately, Melton has been traded due to injury, and Waters has dropped out of the rotation. Recently, they recruited Schroder, but Schroeder's two games were not particularly effective.
So now the Warriors are still facing a difficult situation, that is, no one except Curry can score consistently. Wiggins' scoring consistency wasn't strong either, and Kuminga was also a good and bad game. So now many fans are starting to miss Poole more and more, and Poole's reputation is slowly starting to get better.
Only when you lose can you know how to cherish it. Today, as Poole's heart slowly matures, his performance has become more and more stable. This season, he is averaging 21.2 points and 5.1 assists per game while shooting 41.2 percent from three-point range per game. Even against some defensive powerhouses, such as the Thunder today, he can still score 31 points and 7 assists.
Poole has been very consistent now, with fewer and fewer games with huge ups and downs. This proves that at the age of 25, Poole's mentality has begun to become more mature, and his shooting options on the court have become more rational. And now Poole has always been very grateful for his Warriors career, and when he mentioned the Warriors before, he expressed more nostalgia and gratitude. In fact, his estrangement with the Warriors is only limited to his personal estrangement with Green. Poole's relationship with the other players is very good, especially Wiggins.
Maybe now the Warriors management also regrets letting Poole go, because when Poole played for the Warriors, many fans already thought that his style of play was a bit like Curry, and many people already thought that he would become Curry's successor. Because whether it is from the agility of the game or the way he shoots from the three-point shot, he is very similar to the young Curry. It's just that his performance was inconsistent at the time. If Poole's performance is more consistent, he could be Curry's successor in the Warriors' system, because Kerr can copy a lot of the system from him. Even if his shooting accuracy is not as accurate as Curry's, it can play a similar role.
No player on the Warriors' team today has the scoring creativity of Poole, and Kuminga is a physical-gifted scorer who doesn't have great technique. Podemski also doesn't have great shooting or technical ability, and Moody can't talk about it. So Poole is the most suitable player to serve as Curry's successor. Maybe if the Warriors can handle the conflict between him and Green better at that time, maybe Poole should be able to stay on the Warriors lineup. Including the Warriors' 2022 championship Poole, who also made great contributions, so it is regrettable to look at Poole's departure now.
