Why Jordan Poole Will NEVER Start Another NBA Game 

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

Norris Cole is an nice addition to the show

" 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.

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

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

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

Gilbert with that demon slayer ahh jacket on

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Martin is speaking the truth he so smart

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

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.

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

“Killing the second unit” is cap. He has an advantage being 6th man to coming in with fresh legs, feeling like he should be a starter. He’s a scorer so when he subs in. He can have more of an advantage to get his shot while one starter is on the bench

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

Kenyon spitting facts

Glad Poole is finding himself!!💯💯

He just started and played like kobe. 38pts 7 assist 8 resounds 😂

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. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Washington does have a championship banner hanging from the ceiling Martin

K-Mart spitting cold hard facts

Been waiting for them to talk about JP for a month

3:50 -It was in 1978. Ages ago, but there’s a banner.

We actually do have one banner FYI. It’s from the 70s but still

He was only ever as good as the people around him. Being on a team like GSW instills confidence! Once they put him out in the woods, the weight of that responsibility absolutely crushed him. He wasn't ready for that!

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

This is that bullshit that I don't like... Criticizing the man when he's playing bad is one thing but to criticize the man while he's making progress is some hater shit! "2nd unit" my ass, the man average 29.2 minutes a game & Norris Cole need to pump his brakes, buddy wasn't that good to be talking shit smh!

K Mart is the real one of the panel. OG status

Kenyon and Gil. Best sports duo ou there. Facts

Does Gilbert think if you fail as a bench player, you get moved back to starter?

I blame Draymond for rocking his confidence and whoever on The Warriors staff who released that footage 😂

Maaaan b4 the season even started everyone was saying he’s gonna be beast in Washington with his own team now all of sudden they tune is changing on him

He’s back btw starting and. Killing it

Yeah the natural habitat sounds good but how do you put up bench numbers as a starter but are then moved to the bench producing starter numbers & say he belongs on the bench? I think he needs to play the rest of the season out & in the offseason figure out with the coaching staff how to move those starter numbers to the starting position.

Poole's looked good lately he'll get another shot at starting. He isn't only playing 2nd units, he's finishing games in the 4th.

Hey there Kenyon, we got a banner up there, although it was 44 years ago, there's one. Just kidding, great point though.

Gil, you said Poole can only play against the 2nd unit. Weren't you at the Wizards game just last night because it was your Hat Day! So, you must've seen Poole go for 26 and when he put Franz Wagner in a blender. He played against the Magic's whole team and was the high scorer for the Wizards.

He just needs some real leadership

Holy SHIT I completely forgot about Bobby Sura! SHOUTS to the O.g. 🫡🤙🏾💜

The problem is, he aint LouWill, J-Craeford or Ginobili. Those people had attitude but they know how to play their role.

He’s young bro will bounce back and be a star in the league he can definitely be a starter and thrive he’s done it before

All it takes is one moment, and it can completely derail a person when realization hits them.

Bro Cole being added was amazing for the show

💯 Kenyon 💯💯💯💯

Poole was a good piece to the puzzle he thought he was better than he was he made good shots on a good team but it's different when they say the team yours we need u every night he not cut like that hard work he could've been maybe but his confidence down and it's shows

He's gotta be consistent... but in a good way.

“Everybody wanna manage until it’s time to Manage…” happens everyday in Corp America. Some folks are just better individual contributors va Managers/Leaders

JP was still cooking and got pulled out the oven before he was ready, and they served him as the MAIN DISH

KM is my guy he always keeps it a buck he’s well thought out and correct !!!

Kenyon hilarious in this one !!

i like they way they talked about Poole. they didn’t slander, they made good points.

That's his best role. In Golden State he was being carried and when the stars were out, they gave him advice and a lot of consideration because it wasn't his team, but he's a contributor. Now fast-forward to Washington, he doesn't have the leadership to be a starter. However, he does have the leadership for the 2nd team because truthfully and no disrespect to him or his game but he's a bench player

Give pool another season because I seen fewer players that haven’t breakout stars in the first season then they became stars in they’re second season . Here my few d’Angelo Russell in nets and Terry Rozier in Hornets.

I’m a fan of Gil’s. He’s one of my all time favorites and a legend to the basketball community. But dawg…. WHAT DO YOU HAVE ON 😂

From March thru now, Jordan Poole is averaging 20.3 points, 6.2 assists, 3.3 rebounds, on 44/36/94 splits. He had seven games where he scored 25 points or more, and eleven games where he had 6 or more assists. He was just being misused.

If you're tanking and have a 30 mill guy on your team who aint good you might as well play him. The worst that can happen is you guarantee the best odds at the number 1 pick.

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.

Factual!

1:28 don’t say that Gil u finna make him end up in wuhan 🤣🤣

Kenyon spit facts.

Thank god kmart on this shit. He makes the show for me

James Harden acting like Smokey! 😂 “ Man I ain’t been right since! Ever since then I been like f?ck hector” 😂

Poole and GS really needed each other the way this season been going smh

Not to mention even Lou Will said himself he loved being the second unit because he got to watch tendencies from the opposing team and also what his team was doing good And bad. Everybody sees the game differently

look up stat padder and you'll see a pic of Gil

Loving salt and pepper Josiah 😂😂😂

No the real reason is that he and Kuz don’t mesh on the court. Kuz would have to defer to him as the No. 1 option and let him rock out. Once that finally happens, you’ll see the improvement.

Kenyon Martin says: "I AINT NEVER BEEN A BENCH PLAYER" Kenyon then gives an example of him being a bench player in New York 😂🤦🏿‍♂️

Kenyon knows his basketball frfr

J Crawford was a starter in New York Knicks

Them harden tough asf idk why i like that silhouette i hated all the shoes hes ever cane with but them hard

Great point Kenyon‼️

Jordan started and scored 31 today vs Boston. Y’all jus yapping

Why did y'all put me in this situation??? The Wizards need to speak with The Broncos.

Norris cole kinda sound like Nate Robinson

I really hope Poole turns things around and get a starting position. These guys feel confortable bashing Poole because he is just not an established player, not a veteran with who Gill may want to do business with. The way they were mad with how Russ Wesbrook starts on the bench while he doesnt have the IQ not the quality to start on the Lakers team is crazy, just because to them "Russ has to be respected" even tho he doesnt have thr decision making ability to br starting on a good team. Never seen a player get this much hate on this show... kMart should be concerned by his son 's career

Kenyon fist said he's a starter. Then said he came off the bench for Tyson Chandler.

The OG KMart has spoken!!!!!!

He will be fine Kenyon said it best stack your Ms come off bench and be loved by everybody 🤷🏾‍♂️

I think when they get Alexander Sarr it’ll go down smoother.

K. Mart was spitting facts.🔥🔥🔥🔥

Why I gotta see this damn commercial every 5 minutes!!!!😂😂😂

The wiz are my squad. We are playing Jordan Poole at the 2 next to a traditional undersized point Guard. He’s been playing out of his natural position

If we switch Tyus to the bench and Poole to the starting five, Poole can still avg that. The only problem for Poole is he needs to touch the ball more so he can avg that kind of stats(more usg rate), he needs to be the PG. Tyus and Poole can't create a good chemistry as long as Tyus is the man who handle the ball, that is why Poole was always having a bad game.

Kenyon martin was ARD bruh 😂 he be poppin it like he was all nba 😂

i dont think this is gonna age well.. im not a poole fan, but i cant see him never starting again

Following Gil’s advice of not performing good against the second unit, JP would find himself out of the LEAGUE wtf

Mr. Martin, your socks are looking crazy 😂

I remember the larry hughes Gil days

Gil out here looking like Ref Tanjiro 😂

JP is nice and a starter. And will prove it

What were the expectations coming into this season for the Wizards? What was the alternative? Beal wanted out. Poole has more points this season, last season and the season before that than Bradley. The best ability is availability. This losing isn’t on Poole alone. GM needs to come up with a plan, pick a coach and let’s go.

Poole is so fun to watch when he’s in his bag. I think he just needs to embrace a leader roll in the offseason or something if he’s going to be the guy on that team. They acting like his career over..still a talented cerebral type player that can put on a show. Just wait they’ll be back praising him next season lol

Bob sura was a dawg needs to be talked about more and Jamal Crawford bwas the truth starting or off the bench

I mean its one season with a new team..can he get another season to gel. Bunch a players struggled out the gate on a new team

Jordan Poole needs to embrace that Jamal Crawford, Lemon Pepper Lou role & just be 6th man of the year for the rest of your career. You can still make a lot of money & contend for titles.

That’s sad for JP. Bro got a max contract and doesn’t have any drive to be great. Gil is looking down at him like wtf. I gave you the keys 😭
