Despite the controversial split between the two players, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors has praised Jordan Poole‘s performance this NBA season with the Washington Wizards.
Jordan Poole has found a new home in Washington, where he has been given the opportunity to lead the team’s offense. He has improved his shooting efficiency and shown a greater ability to create opportunities for his teammates.
The rivalry between Green and Poole is evident, but it hasn’t stopped Green from recognizing his former teammate’s talent and progress. Both players have put the past behind them and are focused on their respective teams.
Draymond Green highlighted the maturity and improved ball handling that the young shooting guard has displayed. “He’s playing a lot better. His shot selection… you come to a new situation, and as a competitor, you want to show everything. I think last year he was pressing. He wanted it so bad. He’s settling in. Last year were bad shots, but he wanted it so bad,” Green said, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.
