Would love to be proven wrong on him. Was not a fan of the pick at all.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

In a small sample size and a healthy amount of garbage time, he's rating really well in multiple metrics. OBPM has him at +4.0. ORPM at +5.26. EPM at +2.6 on offense. He won't keep shooting >45% from three, but I think there's a path to him being a very good offensive player in this league and the metrics seem to agree.

Re: I told you guys that Jordan Poole was going to impress.
His shooting has certainly looked useful since his G-league stint, and shooting other than from Curry is certainly one of the team’s primary needs.
I saw a report the other day that GSW have sent a scout to Australia to observe Justinian Jessup in the Australian league, doubtless a complicated business in the pandemic, so maybe they are assessing what they have and planning for next year, particularly for Klay probably playing limited minutes.

Jordan Poole is turning himself into a nice trade chip!

I don't have a problem with that since everybody on this roster is tradeable except Curry and Klay.

Re: I told you guys that Jordan Poole was going to impress.
So something I didn't expect: Poole looks like a really capable on ball defender! He's not particularly quick, he's not very long, tall or strong yet because he prioritizes footwork he's able to stay in front of everyone he's asked to defend.
JP's on course to become one of the really excellent bench players in the league.

Impossible. Was told he was a terrible defender too.
Seriously am I the only one seeing that Poole is getting the Klay treatment almost exactly? Klay was better at this stage for sure, but he was pigeon-holed as a limited Korver type, then his impact was downplayed in the offseason because his TS wasnt high enough, everyone hated on his defense even though it was solid.. no lessons were learned
Here are all the guards drafted ahead of Poole in 19:
Jah Morant
RJ Barrett
DeAndre Hunter
Darius Garland
Jarrett Culver
Coby White
Tyler Herro
Romeo Langford
Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Matisse Thybulle
Ty Jerome
There are a few names in that list that I'd definitely want less than Poole, and a few names that are pretty close. Like for example - I probably wouldnt want RJ Barrett, Jarrett Culver, Romeo Langford over Poole...
And on the same level, ish? Ty Jerome, NAW, and maybe Thybulle (though hes a totally different style player so its tougher to gauge)
Which leaves Jah, Hunter, Garland, Coby, and Herro as the only guards I'd probably want to take ahead of Poole at this point. I'm really buying in hard on him. Starter material in the near future.

Re: I told you guys that Jordan Poole was going to impress.
With a healthy roster Poole needs to run that second unit by letting him dominate the ball. Let him develop that 2 man game with wiseman and put 3 defenders/rebounders around them.
With the way hes been playing, front office might be comfortable trading oubre.

I agree but I would take RJ Barrett and pass on Ty Jerome from your list.

Why do you want him to dominate the ball? Warriors don't play that style. To increase his trade value?

Rather Poole than paschall be the focal point of the second unit.

The real Swaggy P!
Really hoping this young man can remain consistent with his jumper and D.
What really amazes me is his craftiness around the rim/ touch shots.

Really inefficient, but good defender.
We already have one of those and while they're fine, they arent something we should aspire to, not on a team with a desperate need for guard skills. Plus I dont think his archetype is really good in the league anymore. Its someone who may not hurt you, but also may not help you. I'd rather try and teach a better scorer to defend in a system than try and get a good defender/inefficient scorer to score more efficiently. The latter rarely seems to happen in the league, ever

Jordan Poole is a great fit for the starting unit, too bad that #30 guy is standing in his way!

Lakers (#1), Heat (#3) start a 6'5 SG and are 2 of the top 3 defensive teams
Jazz (#5) start a 6'1 SG
But we cannot start a 6'4 SG, no sir
The team starting a 6'1 SG is also #1 in adjusted Net Rtg
#2 - Bucks, 6'4 SG
#3 - Suns 6'5 SG
#5 - Lakers 6'5 SG
#6 - Nets 6'5 SG
I swear, between the Beal stuff and Poole stuff, I don't get why W's fans are so obsessed with height, especially at the guard position. Just because Klay had it and it worked, doesn't mean that its necessary to success.. the top 2 net rating teams have guys shorter than Poole.

Height in today’s nba is really overrated

1995 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5
2000 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5 (61.1% TS)
2015 Stephen Curry 10.8 (75.1% TS)
1997 Michael Jordan 10.7 (55.1% TS)

I'm not talking about his height, I'm skeptical of his ability to guard NBA two-guards. Can he guard Klay? Can he guard CJ McCollum? Have to be able to guard your position.

Well it's good to be long for your position - height and wingspan correlate pretty well but yeah wingspan is probably a better shorthand for being long for your position.
