Jordan Poole highlights: How Warriors' 2019 first-round draft pick can help

Share

With the No. 28 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Warriors selected Jordan Poole out of Michigan.

The 6-foot-5 combo guard averaged 12.8 points and 2.2 assists per game as a sophomore for the Wolverines, while shooing 37 percent from 3-point territory.

What is the one skill he believes is NBA-ready right now?

"Just being able to score the ball at all three levels -- whether it's spacing the floor, but also being able to have the strength of creating my own shot," Poole said on 95.7 The Game last week. "I'm a really good primary ball handler, so being able to play the one, the two and make plays for others.

"I feel like those are a couple of strengths that I'm able to bring to the court right away."

The Warriors certainly could use somebody like this off the bench and they're hoping Poole can be a rotation player as a rookie.
