Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is optimistic about Jordan Poole remaining in the Bay Area for the long term.
Kerr praised Poole following his 25-point effort in a 124-121 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday and alluded to the 23-year-old's impending free agency, per The Athletic's Anthony Slater:
"There’s a reason Jordan is who he is right now. Especially considering where he was coming out of Michigan, a late first-round pick, struggling his first few months in the league. There’s a reason he’s in this position, about to sign a big extension, hopefully.
