The Golden State Warriors forward also claimed that the Washington Wizards guard tried to bully him last Monday in their game.
The Washington Wizards are playing the Memphis Grizzlies tonight, but I wanted to also post something about Washington’s last game against the Golden State Warriors this past Monday.
Warriors forward Draymond Green spoke to the media after the game, where he acknowledged the growth Wizards guard Poole has shown this season compared to last. Here’s a quote from Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.
Draymond on Jordan Poole: “He’s playing a lot better. His shot selection… you come to a new situation, as a competitor you want to show everything. I think last year he was pressing. He wanted it so bad. He’s settling in. Last year were bad shots but he wanted it so bad.”

It’s always good to see that players are being praised by their former teammates. It’s also usually not news, but Green and Poole have had a contentious relationship over the last few years since Green punched Poole during a practice in the 2022-23 season when the latter played for the Warriors.
Besides the praise, Green and Poole taunted each other as well. During one point, Poole separated Bub Carrington from Green when the two were talking about nothing terribly serious.
