Jordan Poole was seen as the present and the future, keeping the Warriors’ dynasty alive, and Steve Kerr still believes in that thinking.
, had an underwhelming and turbulent 2022-23 season. Still, Kerr's belief hasn't changed.
Poole enjoyed his breakout campaign in the 2021-22 season as a third-year pro. The season before, he needed a stint in the G League. Then, he stepped up as the Warriors' starting shooting guard while Klay Thompson continued rehabbing his Achilles and was even better when Thompson was back. Poole did average 20 points as Kerr noted, 20.4 to be exact. The efficiency in which he did so took a massive dip. His shot selection was questioned throughout the season, and Poole's field goal percentage fell to 43 percent, the worst since his rookie year.
"As his coach, it's my job to help him get better and help him really find his groove and find a good comfort zone next year," Kerr continued."I think the number one thing is he can be more efficient. He's such a talented player that we can help him get better shots offensively, and then on the defensive side he's proven when he puts his mind to it, he can fight and get into the fight and hold his ground.
