The Warriors have inked 2019 first-round pick Jordan Poole to a rookie scale contract, per the NBA’s transactions log.
Selected 28th overall in this year’s draft, Poole will make approximately $1.96M in his first NBA season on a max rookie scale contract.
The Michigan product averaged 12.8 PPG and 3.0 RPG while shooting 36.9% from three-point range in his sophomore campaign.
Seemed like a reach at the time, don’t know if I’m totally sold on him as a first rounder for this team unless he steps in and plays
So far Poole has looked every bit like the Nick Young comparison he got on draft day in that he combines mediocre shooting ability with poor shot selection. The Warriors summer league coach, Aaron Miles, has already indirectly called him out on his shot selection. Poole has G league written all over him.
Swaggy Poole !
