2nd worst on-off for the wizards is Mike Muscala at -25.3, but he has only played 64 minutes so far. The next worst is Tyus Jones at -23.5 with 381 minutes played, so Poole is -14.2 worse per 100 possessions than the next worst player getting starter minutes on his team. Has there ever been a player more detrimental towards winning than JP has been this season? I’ve legitimately never seen a comparably nightmarish on-off for a starter on any team in any season. Not a single player on any of the process 6ers rosters came close to half as poor of an on-off.

    Remember when Garnett said Poole would be the next Harden, likening Poole leaving GS with Harden leaving OKC back in the day…
    Also remember when Garnett said Thon Maker was a future MVP?
    Yeah, Garnett has some of the worst takes in NBA history lol

    Guy is obviously better than how he’s playing right now, but he’s eating a lot of humble pie. Hopefully he gets his act together.

    I don’t get this logic. Everyone but Curry plays alongside Curry. Dray and Klay ain’t doing shit on that Wizards team if they joined it.

    Can someone please respond and defend Poole again? Draymond was right.

    That is truly an insane number.

    His attitude has been very poor this season but that alone is not the reason for his struggles. He and Tyus don’t compliment each other too well as backcourt mates because neither really put pressure on the rim.

    Neither offer much defensively. Tyus was 8th percentile on defense last season and he’s 3rd percentile this season whereas Poole is 0th. Their games don’t really mesh. Poole is at his best with the ball in his hands but is playing predominantly off ball with the Wizards with Tyus and Kuz soaking up most of the ballhandling load. I don’t think it’s a situation he’s going to be at his best, but the question also is whether a team is willing to really hand the keys over to Poole.

    Been a rough learning curve for Poole this season and he doesn’t appear to have the mentality to dig himself out of the hole.

      People forget, Smush wasn’t complete garbage like the narrative Kobe spread. He wasn’t great, but you’d be fine if he was a backup point getting 15 minutes a game.
