Jordan Poole Unhappy About Move To Wizards Bench

[RealGM Wiretap]

Washington Wizards interim head coach Brian Keefe made his first big lineup change since taking over. Keefe moved Jordan Poole to a bench role, after Poole had started the first 52 games he played this season.

When asked about the lineup change, Poole let it be known he's not happy with it.

"If there’s any common sense, with the situation, you should know how I feel. But I’m just going to come out, do what I can do to help the team, keep it moving," Poole said.

The veteran guard added "I mean, if this is a way to try to get me on ball, I guess that’s just what we have to do."

LOL, yeah. Chucking away at 30% with a horrible assist to turnover and he thinks he needs to be on ball more.

Yup, delusional loser

[Cassius]

Sad to say, but next to winning a ring, getting punched in the face and the contract it earned him is the best thing that has ever happened to him.

Poole absolutely sucks

[tidho]

Poole Piss a.k.a. certified clown

He's as delusional as WNBA players.

Hahaha!

If I was the editor I'd have headlined this "Jordan Poole unhappy about lack of talent"

[PerfectJab]

I mean, what does he expect? The sense of entitlement is cringe.

Guy has a total shooting % of .509 and expects to be in the starting lineup? You're coming off the bench cause you're not playing well against starters. If there's any common sense, with his performance, he should know how it is.

Here's the reality, you were able to shoot with average numbers throughout your career because you were surrounded by much better shooters than you.

[TMac Culloch]

Does he realize how Ass he's been?

I don't think anyone had this low expectations for how he's performed

I figured decent counting stats at bad efficiency but we're missing the former

Wizards equally unhappy they traded for him.

[Lalouie]

if you go from golden boy on a championship team,,,
to being traded to the worst team in the nba,,,
to the bench of the worst team in the nba,,,
and your #s have fallen post gsw,,,

you've had your chances

[elmdawgg69]

Warriors were dumb for extending this guy to a near max but smart for flipping that terrible contract for relief this offseason.

I described him in another thread as a "Poor man's Monte Ellis."
