6 Days Before Taking On LaMelo Ball and Co., Jordan Poole’s $2.5 Billion Worth Franchise Opens Doors for 1000+ “Hyped” Middle School Students

Get impressionable minds on the court, give them a taste of the NBA, and voilà, you get future NBA stars in the making. A much better alternative than young kids looking for excitement in all the wrong places. With preseason games right around the corner, Jordan Poole and the Wizards are working hard.

The Wizards and LaMelo Balls’ Hornets will meet in 6 days for a preseason game. With Washington always having an upper hand over Charlotte, Poole and co. are preparing to keep that streak steady. Hornets are yet to win a ring and though it’s been ages since the Wizards’ first title, this is a season that is going to have as many twists and turns as possible.

Jordan Poole sets up a ‘poole’ party for middle schoolers

The Wizards open practice day is a dream come true for over 1000 middle schoolers. Invited to be the special guests for the day, journalist Bijan Todd tweets they are “hyped“.

The energy and excitement are a sight to see. Wide smiles, popping off dance moves, jumping up and down – these kids just had their fairy godmother wave her wand over them.

Jordan signed a 4 year, $128 million contract extension last spring. He is due to make $28 million in the 2023-24 season, making Poole the highest-paid player in the team.

What the Wizards had in mind when bringing in Poole

Young at the core, the Wizards will do well having someone with championship experience on their side. He and Kyle Kuzma are in line to be the Wizards’ primary scoring options. Moving out of the shadows of players like Curry and Thompson, the Wizards provide Poole with the chance to emerge as the face of a $2.5 billion franchise.

Poole is coming off a career year in which he averaged 20.4 points, 4.5 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game. He shot 43.0% overall and 33.6% from long range. Having played 76 games two years ago and all 82 games last season, he is in great shape. He and Kuzma will now likely form the core of the Wizards’ offense and as key leaders in the locker room.
