I’m curious to know who do you think is a better player Chris Paul or Jordan Poole? I think Jordan Poole is better because he scores more points and is young with potential and hasn’t hit his prime yet. Whereas, Chris Paul is older and scores less points and has already passed his prime.
CP is clearly better at every aspect of the game except for scoring.
If you’re judging Poole on who he could be, in the future, then don’t you have to judge CP3 on who he was?
The Warriors are almost certainly better with CP3 than they would be with Poole, assuming CP3 stays healthy. CP3 makes the guys around him better, and that matters, especially with the young guys the Warriors have.
Poole might turn into a fringe all-NBA guy. I don’t really expect it, but I won’t be surprised if it happens. If I was a bad team building for the future, I would absolutely want Poole on my team.
But trying to win now? You want CP3. No-brainer.
