For the Wizards to take the next step, they will need Poole to return to the way he played earlier in his career with Golden State.

The 25-year-old had a significant role in the Warriors winning the 2022 NBA Championship.

Poole was the 28th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

His career averages are 16.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per contest while shooting 41.9% from the field and 33.6% from the three-point range in 344 regular season games.

He has also appeared in 35 NBA playoff games (nine starts) with Golden State.

The Wizards will play their first game of the season when they host Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics in Washington, D.C. on October 24.

Last season, they were the 14th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 15-67 record.

They have been unable to make the NBA playoffs since the 2021 season when Russell Westbrook was on the roster.
