An update on Michigan Basketball players in the NBA

Jordan Poole

The Poole Party is officially back! Right now, Jordan Poole is the most exciting former Wolverine to watch (besides Franz, but I’ll touch on him soon) in the NBA on the Golden State Warriors. He is averaging 16.8 ppg, and has really benefitted from Klay Thompson being out with that Achilles injury (although Klay has since come back).

He finished out last season on a hot streak, and that has since continued this season. It’s so cool to see Jordan and Steph play together. Jordan gets to learn from the very best shooter on the planet, and even when Klay was sidelined with that Achilles, I’m sure he was providing tremendous feedback and advice to help Poole get even better.

The Warriors are one of the best teams in the league this year (when they weren’t that good last year, and were terrible the year before that) so it’s almost a certainty that Michigan basketball fans will get to see Jordan light it up in the NBA playoffs as well.

Here’s to wishing for continued success for Jordan.
