Jordan Poole came off the bench for the Washington Wizards for the first time this season in a game against the Denver Nuggets. While Poole expressed displeasure with the move, he remains focused on contributing to the team. Despite the change, he played 30 minutes and scored 18 points. The decision to bench Poole comes amid a challenging month for him, with lower shooting percentages. Since joining the Wizards this season, Poole has displayed inconsistency compared to his time with the Golden State Warriors.
Despite Poole's constructive outlook on the situation, he continues to provide his naysayers with ammunition with his on-court play. For instance, Poole found himself trending after Thursday's game against Denver when he had trouble inbounding the ball eventually leading to a turnover and crystallizing the disappointing season he's having into one play.
