So, last week, we tackled the sudden late-season resurgence of Klay Thompson, and what it potentially meant for him and the Warriors getting back to the promised land.
But since then, both Thompson and even two-time MVP Stephen Curry have been outshined at times by third-year guard Jordan Poole, who’s averaging 29.5 points per game through the first two games of Golden State’s series with Denver. And the Warriors, in large part due to Poole’s dominance, are comfortably up 2–0 in the matchup so far.
If the Dubs end up back in the winner’s circle at the end of this season after a four-year absence, we’ll end up rightfully declaring that there’s a third Splash Brother, one who coincidentally goes by the name of Poole.
