Jordan Poole attributed some of his struggles this season to a role change but said he is looking to 'learn from that, grow from that.'
This year, Poole started 43 games. He averaged 30 minutes -- the same as last season -- and bumped up his scoring, averaging 20.4 points per game. But his efficiency dropped, with him shooting 43% from the field, 33.3% from 3-point range and 87% from the free throw line.
In Golden State's two playoff series, Poole struggled -- to hit shots, create for himself and defend. At moments he was rushing, wanting so badly to get himself going. But that just made it worse."Last year I could come in and score, be aggressive with the team that we had around," Poole said. "Being more of a facilitator. Trying to get them easy shots. ... Everything won't be the same. Like I said, you learn from that, grow from that and apply your skill set."said.
But it wasn't just Poole's role that changed this year. The supporting cast around him did as well. And with injuries and absences plaguing the Warriors all season, not even their core group was consistent."We were two different teams," Poole said. "I mean, a couple of different players and a couple of different coaching changes, but as you would expect to see a different team, we made different changes. I think that's just how it goes.
As Golden State heads into the offseason, figuring out how to retool the roster is the No. 1 priority. But there are layers to it. First is figuring out whether general manager Bob Myers, whose contract expires in June, will be back. Next is whether Green will pick up the player option waiting for him. Then, it's finding out what to do with the rotation players.
