Jordan Poole Benched Washington Wizards Fans Trying Figure Out Got Here

Jordan Poole's rough season with the Washington Wizards continues as he struggles with his performance and faces criticism from fans.

When Jordan Poole was traded from the Golden State Warriors to the Washington Wizards, many fans saw it as an opportunity for him to establish himself as a standalone player, separate from the Warriors organization. With no true franchise cornerstone player, Poole came in as the guy, and he was paid as the guy, signing a four-year $128 million contract. However, this has been his worst season so far, and it got worse when he was benched by the struggling 9-46 Washington Wizards.

Poole's averages have declined this season, as he currently averages almost 16 points, four assists, and two rebounds as the lead guard for the team. His shooting percentages of 40% from the field and 30% beyond the arc have been disappointing. When asked by the media how he felt about being benched, Poole expressed his frustration but also his determination to keep moving forward and help the team.

Despite his struggles, Poole managed to score 18 points in the game against the Denver Nuggets, but his shooting was inefficient, going 4-18 from the field. This performance only added fuel to the fire of Wizards fans calling for him to be benched. Many argue that his inefficient shooting and decision-making are reasons for the team's struggles.

Overall, Poole's trade to the Wizards has not gone as many fans had hoped. His performance has been below expectations, and the pressure from fans and the media is mounting. It remains to be seen if he can turn things around and prove himself as a valuable player for the Wizards.
