The Golden State Warriors are rolling with a 4-1 start to open the NBA season, but the same can't be said for Jordan Poole who has hit a major obstacle just four games into his tenure with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Poole was removed from Willie Green's starting lineup against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, further proving that the Warriors were right in moving on from the dynamic guard at exactly the right time now over two years ago.
Jordan Poole has been benched by the Pelicans four games into the season
It was widely assumed that Poole would remain a starter with the Pelicans at least until Dejounte Murray returns from his achilles tear, yet it's taken just a week into the season for him to be benched as things go from bad to worse for the embattled franchise.
