It didn’t turn out like that and Poole struggled for many weeks and was eventually moved to the bench. To some, that could be seen as a major demotion, but Poole thinks it actually helped him. “I wasn’t able to do what I was accustomed to doing in terms of how I built my game ..read more

Needless to say, that hasn’t been the case, as the former NBA champion has struggled mightily in a bigger role, proving that he wasn’t suited to be the alpha scorer on a team. Poole has struggled from all three levels and was eventually demoted to the second unit. However, that has worked perfectly for him. As shown by NBA Central, he’s averaging 23 ..read more
