Go back when Poole first got traded Gilbert said he was gonna be the next harden

" As management you failed him. His agent failed him. You gotta look at what you have and what the product is. He is who he is."
- Kenyon Martin.

[kabob]

Gil telling him to suck on the 2nd unit too to benefit his career is some diabolical sabotage

[puttingextrasonit]

Norris Cole is an nice addition to the show

[stanjones]

I like how Kenyon sat and digested what everyone said before made input.

[jigenking]

Jordan Poole didn't realize the gravity of Stephen Curry on the court had made him look like a super star on the Warriors. From the championship breakout year where no one was defending him and everyone was on Steph to the next year where he finally got someone defending against him.

[jpesicka]

He’s the 6th man. NOTHING wrong with that, it’s much needed in fact

[Rumble-qefy]

He’ll always be bench material he’s a gunner. If u use him in spurts he can score points fast has crazy range from 3. If he’s cold though he’ll shoot u right out of the game.

[cordariuswilkins]

Gilbert with that demon slayer ahh jacket on

[wallydavisjr]

Ive been a huge Kenyon Martin fan since Cincy but I love him more in his role now more than ever. He’s killing the game.

[TheJacqueswong]

Norris Cole fits really well in Gils Arena. Please have him there more.

[TF-cgfd]

None of y’all watch the Wizards, the issue is they tried to make him backseat to Tyus like a Desmond Bane. They made him pg for the second unit and it’s been a blank canvas for him ever since. Even in the 4th with other starters lately they defer to him. His highlights off the bench are on bench players and starters

[yoboymalc]

3:51 We do have a banner Kenyon. It’s from 1978 but we got one 😂

[jimyogi]

Martin is speaking the truth he so smart

[HappyAstronomicalModel-lrwe]

The bench ain't got nothing to do with it. They had him playing off ball at the 2. He plays better at the 1, with the offense running through him. Tyus is starting at the 1 so just moved Poole to the 2nd unit. Shiid the numbers he's putting up some starters don't do! Three 30pt games in the last week!
Guarantee next season he'll be the starting PG.

[smokingnjokingsportztv]

Poole was actually starting when klay was hurt the whole season damn near. it was a poole party!!

[Nuggetfinatic]

I really think if Poole wants to succeed in the future he should study Manu Ginobli. Best 6th man in NBA history who usually closed with the starting unit is a role he could really carve out for himself. Instant offence off the bench with closing ability to stay in with the starters

[garybrice]

The Wizards overall have terrible management and culture. The team overall just has a losing culture. Then you expect Poole to come in and be that leader, face of the franchise, etc. when he never had to deal with that kind of pressure in GS even when he was starting.

[princellasmith]

I hate it when people make statements like this. We don't know if Jordan Poole will ever start again. He is young, and he is likely still recovering from what happened with him at the Warriors. Everything from being embarrassed publicly with the video release to then being blamed for their bad season to then being shipped all the way across the country to literally the other coast. He has time to bounce back, and he can. We don't know what's going to happen with his career. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[IknowMoreThanYou]

This is why it's hard to take analysis on this show seriously, because it's "bag Twitter personified."

Anyone who understands the game knew poole was overrated with steph and klay making it easy for him. Meanwhile gil and the gang were calling him James harden when he hadn't shown anything close to that. Volume scorer ball dominant no playmaking no defense.
Gil's favourite type of player
