Jordan Poole Backed To Shine In Washington
1 year agoWashington Wizards guard Jordan Poole is backed by former teammate Andre Iguodala to have a big year in 2023-24. "He averaged 20 last year, on a bad year. He's going to get to the line. He's the only one who got to the line for us last year consistently," Iguodala said on the "Gil's Arena" podcast. "People act like he had a bad year. I'm like, 'OK, a bad year? Y'all blamed him for the year we had last year and he averaged 20.' [He will average] 25-plus, easy." Poole notched 20.4 points per game last term while averaging five free throws a night. It was the best scoring output of his four-year career despite Poole hitting only 33.6 percent of his triples, so he certainly has the potential to do a lot more in Washington.
