Jordan Poole highlights significant contrast between the Warriors and Wizards

+

While Jordan Poole secured a championship with the Golden State Warriors, a pinnacle that currently seems quite distant for the Washington Wizards, his new team possesses a unique asset that his former team lacked. During a conversation with reporters, Poole conveyed his enthusiasm about teaming up with Daniel Gafford, as he had never before played alongside a genuine lob threat. This disparity underscores a notable distinction between the Warriors and Wizards. While the Warriors boast a superior overall roster, their athleticism is somewhat lacking. Neither of Golden State's big men, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney, frequently elevate their play above the rim. The most exceptional athlete on the Warriors is Gary Payton II, who possesses the ability to catch lobs but is often positioned away from the basket, limiting the opportunities for such plays.
