Kevin Garnett compares Jordan Poole to James Harden on his show

Jordan Poole is the biggest acquisition to the Washington Wizards in their most recent offseason. Though the bookies and the league pundits don’t expect much, one NBA legend believes he could be as good as one of the NBA’s pre-eminent stars.

Kevin Garnett said on his Showtime show “KG Certified” that Poole is a lot like Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden when he was traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012 to the Houston Rockets. Harden quickly became a superstar with Houston once he arrived.
