Jordan Poole News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Scores 26 in loss to Boston Poole finished with 26 points (9-17 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and four steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 loss to Boston.

Impact Poole caught fire early on and scored 17 points in the first quarter, but the Celtics held him in check the rest of the way and only added nine more points the rest of the way. It was a strong showing for the guard, who's now operating as a floor general for the Wizards. Even though one game is not enough to draw solid conclusions, Poole seems to be the one that will set the tone offensively for Washington, which could lead to him hovering around the 20-point mark on a regular basis going forward.

Leads Wizards in scoring Poole finished with 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), a rebound and five assists across 18 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason win over the Knicks.

Impact Poole was one of five players who scored in double digits for the Wizards in this preseason finale, though perhaps the most impressive tidbit out of this outing is that he only needed 18 minutes to do so. Poole figures to operate as one of the Wizards' primary options on offense in 2024-25, another year in which the franchise will operate under a rebuilding status.

Scores team-high 13 points Poole finished with 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Monday's 131-92 preseason loss to the Nets.

Impact Poole was the leading scorer for the Wizards on Monday, though that also shows how bad the team was on the offensive end of the court. Poole is expected to be one of the Wizards' few reliable fantasy options on a regular basis, and while it remains to be seen how he'll play at point guard, it's worth noting the scoring should be there one way or another. After all, Poole has averaged at least 17.0 points per game in his last three seasons.

Rough shooting night Friday Poole managed three points (1-7 FG, 0-6 3PT, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Raptors.

Impact Poole was ice cold from the floor, missing all six of his three-point attempts. He is slated to be the starting point guard to open the season, providing him a relatively safe floor, assuming you can land him in the eighth or ninth round of drafts. The scoring could be inconsistent, as we saw here, but he should have a long leash given the Wizards are unlikely to prioritize winning again this season.

Leads starters with 16 points Poole finished Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to the Raptors with 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists and one rebound over 22 minutes.

Impact Poole was the leading scorer for the Wizards on Sunday and second for the game behind RJ Barrett (shoulder). Poole had a volatile 2023-24 campaign, and he finished his first season with the Wizards averaging 17.4 points on 41.3 percent shooting (including 32.6 percent from three on 7.2 3PA/G), 4.4 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 30.1 minutes per game. Poole is slated to serve as Washington's primary ballhandler to start the 2024-25 season.

Starting season as point guard Poole will be Washington's starting point guard and primary ball handler to start the season, Bijan Todd of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Todd details Poole, coach Brian Keefe and General Manager Will Dawkins collaborating to assess the best way to maximize what the 25-year-old can bring to the Wizards' backcourt. Entering Year 2 of a four-year, $128 million contract, Washington attempting to rehabilitate Poole's efficiency is a commendable effort. Poole spent 46.1 percent of his on-ball touches working out of pick-and-roll last season, but Washington mustered a subpar 47.4 effective field-goal percentage on those possessions -- ranking 61st out of 62 qualifying ball handlers. On a personal level, Poole's total performance improved after the All-Star Break, averaging 20.9 points and 5.8 assists while shooting 43.4 percent from the field and 35.9 percent on 8.9 threes per game across 26 contests.

Participates in first camp practice Poole (illness) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Poole's first season in Washington didn't start great, and he was ultimately moved out of the starting lineup for a couple of weeks. However, the benching appeared to light a fire under him, and he finished strong, averaging 20.8 points, 5.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals over his final 27 regular-season appearances. Poole missed the final two games of the campaign due to an illness, but as expected, that won't impact him to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Impact Poole had high expectations in his first season with the Wizards after being dealt from Golden State, and it is fair to say he did not quite live up to them. Still, the 24-year-old shooting guard will end the year with averages of 17.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.4 triples across 30.1 minutes per game.

Impact Poole has had a rough season in his first year with the Wizards, but it seems spending time on the bench midway through the campaign clicked something in him, and he's ending the campaign on a solid note. Poole has scored 20 or more points in five of his last six appearances, a span in which he's averaging 23.3 points per game while shooting 43.2 percent from the field.
