The Golden State Warriors traded Jordan Poole in 2023, and Pelicans fans are already seeing the problems he can cause. Poole is currently injured, but he shot 35.4 percent from the field in his first seven games. To add to the nightmare, New Orleans went 1-6 with him after trading their 2026 first-round pick in the offseason.
Poole is no longer the 20-point-per-game scorer Dubs’ fans remember. He is averaging 17.3 points with a 45.5 effective field goal percentage. It is his lowest scoring total since his second season and his worst effective field goal since his rookie campaign.
