High school career

As a freshman at

Then, he visited Michigan for the September 26 football game between the 2015 Wolverines and BYU, receiving an offer that weekend. He returned to campus on October 17 for the rivalry game against Michigan State.[4] On October 23, 2015, four-star recruit Poole became the first commitment for the Class of 2017 after a home gym visit from head coach John Beilein and assistant coach LaVall Jordan and multiple Michigan campus visits. Poole had several competing offers including Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Memphis, Marquette, Virginia Tech and Auburn.[5][6][7][8] At the time of his commitment, he was the 2nd-ranked overall prospect and the 1st-ranked shooting guard in the national class of 2017.[4] As a junior, Poole was a 2016 WBCA All-State Boys Basketball first team selection.[9]

On July 1, 2016, Poole announced that he would transfer from Rufus King to

R. J. Barrett.[18] La Lumiere had lost the 2016 Dick National Championship game prior to Poole's arrival.[19]

On March 17, 2018, Michigan defeated (#21 AP Poll/#19 Coaches Poll) Houston 64–63 in the second round of the 2018 NCAA tournament, following a game-winning buzzer beater three-point shot by Poole, giving Michigan its fourth Sweet 16 in six years.[37][38] The shot was described as nearly identical to the buzzer beater he had made a year earlier in the Dick's National Championship game.[13]

On November 17, 2018, Poole's career-high 22 points helped Michigan defeat

Iggy Brazdeikis and Charles Matthews) declared for the 2019 NBA draft with the intention of hiring agents.[57]

Professional career

Golden State Warriors (2019–2023)

Early years (2019–2021)

On June 20, 2019, Poole was drafted 28th overall in the first round of the

assigned to the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G-League. In his first game there, he scored 23 points against the Stockton Kings.[62] In his second game, he made five three pointers in a loss against the Texas Legends, scoring 31 points and posting five rebounds, four assists and three steals. In January, 2020 Poole returned to the Golden State Warriors lineup. On January 18 Poole scored a then career-high 21 points in a 109–95 win against the Orlando Magic.[63]

Starting shooting guard Klay Thompson would miss the entire season for the 2020–21 Warriors.[64] On March 4, 2021, Poole set a then career-high 26 points in a 120–98 loss to the Phoenix Suns.[65] On May 14, Poole posted a then career-high 38 points in a 125–122 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.[66] The Warriors used several shooting guards during the season and closed the 2020–21 NBA season with Kent Bazemore, Mychal Mulder, Damion Lee, and Kelly Oubre Jr. all in the picture.[67]

Breakout season and first championship (2021–2023)

Poole in 2023

Poole beat out

Boston Celtics, earning Poole his first NBA championship.[81] He performed admirably in the playoffs, averaging 17.0 points while shooting 50.8% overall and 39% on 3-pointers.[82]

During a team practice on October 5, 2022, Poole and teammate

Oklahoma City Thunder.[91] Golden State was eliminated from the 2023 playoffs by the Lakers, losing in the conference semifinals in six games.[92] Poole's role fluctuated throughout the season, as he went in and out of the starting lineup, starting 47 of 95 games.[93] In 43 regular season starts, he averaged 24.6 points and 4.6 assists.[82] Overall, his minutes dropped from 30 per game in the regular season to 21.8 in the playoffs, and his scoring fell from 20.4 in the regular season to 10.3 in the postseason,[93] when he made just 34.1% of his overall shots and 25.4% of 3-point attempts.[82][93] After the season, Kerr said the Warriors were not a championship team due to a lack of trust on the team, in part due to Green's punching Poole,[94] and Green blamed their early playoff exit on his punch.[95]

Washington Wizards (2023–present)

On July 6, 2023, the Warriors traded Poole,

Cleveland Cavaliers.[98]

Player profile

Although criticized when entering the league for his lack of polish, Poole developed into a dynamic and efficient scorer throughout his tenure with the Warriors.[99][100] In addition to his shooting ability, Poole is a prolific finisher at the rim, frequently slashing to the basket using his ball-handling skills and speed while being a proficient mid-range shot creator.[101] Poole's improvement in his all-around game has led to him becoming a capable passer, averaging a career-high 4.0 assists per game during his third season in a combo guard role.[102] His combination of abilities has drawn comparisons to Warriors teammate Stephen Curry,[103] with some basketball media writers calling him the "third Splash Brother".[104][105]
