Coming into the season, people were suggesting that Poole would see an ascension comparable to the was James Harden saw when he jumped to Houston. He got such praise from Kevin Garnett. One pundit seemed to take the offensive prowess for granted, suggesting that it would be coupled with poor defence.

But we haven’t even got a glimpse of this upgraded offence.

Sure… we all likely expected his efficiency to go down while the number of shots he took went up, but not only is he shooting his worst percentage for the arc and second worst inside the arc, he’s taking fewer shots than he did when he had to share the shots with Curry, Klay, and Wiggins, and is scoring his lowest total in three years.

This when he was supposed to be putting up 30 a game.

And though I think most people expected the Wiz to struggle, I don’t think anybody expected them to be 2-10 to start the season.

​

Has anybody been more disappointing than Poole so far this season?
