Despite his defensive shortcomings, he’s shown elite shotmaking in the playoffs and is only 24. In my opinion, his ceiling is enormous. I can’t understand why people are praising the Warriors trading him for a 38 year old CP3.

I think the trade value on Poole should have been higher, I don’t think he’s a significantly worse player than Herro or any of the other high offense, low defense young combo guards in the league, but I think the move was the right one.
It wasn’t happening in GS, he needed to be in a new environment and the Warriors needed a different kind of presence to come in for a serious playoff run.
