Steve Kerr hopes to ease rookie Jordan Poole's rookie transition in G-League

SAN FRANCISCO -- Warriors rookie guard Jordan Poole has struggled mightily in his first season in the Bay Area. In an effort to combat his troubles, Golden State plans to send the guard to its G-League affiliate at an undetermined date.

"There's nothing set in stone yet," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said following practice Tuesday morning. "He'll eventually be there. That's a big part of our development process. Santa Cruz has been a big asset over the years. A lot of players go back and forth so it'll happen for Jordan at some point."

The Warriors decision -- first reported by NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole -- comes as Poole's early season is in peril.
