Indeed, it has been a long season for the newly acquired Washington Wizard, Jordan Poole. He was on the far end of the West Coast playing for the Golden State Warriors. Now, he is on the far end of the East Coast, adjusting to life as a member of the Washington Wizards.

Jordan Poole Admits He Is Still Adjusting

He actually admitted this in an interview in the article above where he talks about adjusting to a change of position. Not only did his position change, but his role with the Washington Wizards have changed too.

Jordan Poole Displeased With Move To The Bench, What Happens Next

Being a full time starter for the Washington Wizards simply hasn’t worked out for Jordan Poole this season. In Golden State where he had much success, he was coming off the bench. Now, at times he would start as injuries are a part of the game. However, being a full time starter placed a lot of pressure on Poole as he admitted that he is still adjusting. 

Sometimes in life, you have to take one step backwards and two steps forward. There are moments and times in life where you have to do some self evaluating and figure things out. That’s where we are at with the Wizards and Jordan Poole. It’s not how to start in life, but rather how you finish in life. The season started pretty rough for Jordan Poole. However, it looks like it may end fairly well for the young star.

Coming off the bench lessens the expectations for Poole. He can simply be himself! He has a green light as he is better than everyone on the second unit on his team and the opposing teams too. He has one job now at this point and that is to get buckets. It was hard for him to do so playing next to a floor general such as Tyus Jones who plays the point guard position extremely well. Now, Poole can have the ball in his hands more to create not only for himself but for others around him too. Moving to the bench may be a blessing in disguise for Jordan Poole.
