The trade of the Wizards happened amidst a lot of noise. Problems arose for the 24-year-old guard due to conflicts with Draymond Green, the pressure of carrying the Warriors post-Curry, and his personal aspirations. They were all grown men on the team. There is only so much coaches and fellow members can do to help resolve these issues.

Finally, the one-on-one talks and group discussions all ended in a trade. The Wizards traded All-Star Chris Paul for the Warriors’ rising star. It was a good deal. With a young core like Washington’s, their latest member is given the greatest chance of a lifetime – if he plays his cards right.

The Wizards’ star guard hits an all-time low on Friday’s preseason game

Jordan Poole has a huge fan following. We can often see stadiums filled with fans holding ‘Poole Party’ signs and wearing beach wear. The increased fans have surely made the Wizards management quite happy. But their final preseason game against the Toronto Raptors was a disappointing end. So much so that there is a new mystery rumor going around. “Is MSG magical?”

It so happens that Poole’s greatest supporter during the trade, Celtics legend and Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett endorsed it.

In his story update on Instagram, Garnett added, “He got snooped in Tdot/the 6..” with laughing emojis in the middle and after.

The 41-point night of Jordan Poole reminds us of the legendary Michael Jordan game

The Wizards game night against the Knicks was a historic moment for the team. Poole scored 41 points in 27 minutes on their way to a 131-106 victory. This tied him with the 6x NBA champion Michael Jordan‘s record in 2001.

It was the day of celebration for Washington. Not only were the naysayers given a suitable answer, but many who expressed their doubts got the proof. Up until now in the preseason, Poole has averaged 23.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 23 minutes of playing time.

What we have to remember is during his time with the Warriors, before the Green fiasco, Poole was considered to be the one to receive the mantle from Curry. Many even went on to dub him with the title of third Splash Brother to Curry-Thompson duo. That alone is enough to understand his potential.

Poole is still young. Though he spent a good amount of time among veterans and a championship experience team, it’s likely that his age will push through during situations with intense pressure. What do you think is next in line for the face of Wizards franchise?
