He's not playing well, but I'm willing to give him some time. He's done enough to help us overall. Or at least not hurt us.


I think it has to be kicked around a little bit, the idea of bringing him off the bench until he gets his rhythm. I'd be very worried about our perimter defense if Lee starts though.. the guy is the Eric Byrnes of our defense

I'm looking forward to him grabbing the board and leading the fast break, Dray-style

The problem with Poole is he has Curry like confidence without Curry like ability.

Also he doesn’t use Curry’s gravity like the other teammates. He goes iso till the defense resets back to normal and can no longer exploit what Curry gives him.

Steph needs to stop hesitating on his shots, it’s so annoying

Watch how he starts the 3rd.. if he starts the 3rd. The start/stop of the half will make it ginger for him.. and if so, JTA's gonna get a ton of burn

He really needs to learn to play off-ball in this system. He did it in Michigan but he was *the* guy. Here is the 2nd banana and needs to be aware of when he's in the 1st banana's way

But truth is, they had a whole offseason to work on this. At this stage, you put him on notice and make sure he's the first guy pulled, putting Lee in with the starters as a subtle 'audition' for the starting role. Moody fits better but he's not going to get the opp this quick

Ugly half from Steph but ya gotta love the Bob Cousy one footed homage shot.
The hottest of takes...

Not going to lie, I expected more from Poole. He's playing worse than he did at the end of last season. I expected minimum the same level.

Yeah I don't get it. He came out strong in the pre-season then hit a complete wall. Wonder if he's just putting too much pressure on himself to put up fringe all-star numbers.

Replace Poole with a healthy Klay, and the police would have been called by now to stop the slaughter.

He thinks he’s first banana here. I don’t blame him. He has to, but for crying out loud you have the greatest shooter of all time here. Get your shots off Curry and do his iso’s when the team really needs it.

Also I’m begging Myers to please find this team a big man. I don’t believe a second year Wiseman will take us to the championships.
