2nd worst on-off for the wizards is Mike Muscala at -25.3, but he has only played 64 minutes so far. The next worst is Tyus Jones at -23.5 with 381 minutes played, so Poole is -14.2 worse per 100 possessions than the next worst player getting starter minutes on his team. Has there ever been a player more detrimental towards winning than JP has been this season? I’ve legitimately never seen a comparably nightmarish on-off for a starter on any team in any season. Not a single player on any of the process 6ers rosters came close to half as poor of an on-off.
The amount of hate this guy gets is way disproportional to anything he’s ever actually done
I agree. People are just pathetic, jumping on the bandwagon.
I would usually say you are right, but as a Wizards fan who watches every game - he rightfully earned it.
He plays like he doesn’t care, and that’s the sad part. If he had shown some passion, some willingness to care about the most basic things like defense, passing around (so many plays he didn’t pass for 20+ seconds took a hard shot).
Even stating not so long ago that “my legacy is secured”, at such a young age, isn’t helping out. Saying “This is my team” when he joined a new team, like he is a star of some kind (he is not).
And the stats even back up his selfish attitude - basic and advanced.
So yeah, he “earned it”.
Hmm idk I feel it’s pretty warranted, the guy is so hateable. That timeout video alone confirmed everything I needed to know about him
Honestly it’s insane. Draymond literally knocked him unconscious because of trash talk and he got a harsh talking to and everyone cared about who leaked it.
Can you imagine if draymond had KOd Steph? He would have been shot to the Chinese league.
But because it’s Poole it’s a fun joke.
Numbers aren’t hate
