Jordan Poole has the talent but he is not as clutch as Curry and Thompson, the splash brothers really are the reasons of the success of the Warriors. Poole getting added as a talent, he can be a good 2nd unit so they will not run out of offense. Once Curry will come back, no way Poole will be able to get his numbers now as the offense will be focus back to Curry.
Poole needs to make work of handling the ball around and not just relying heavily on passes and assists to make a play. Currently, all eyes are on him and Thompson as they're the ones putting in the points and getting the gears going for GSW while Curry is away. The good thing with GSW is most of them know how to score points from the three-point area, so it's not really that hard to rotate the ball around whenever the defense is tight. But going back to Poole, I think he's a great talent, obviously not just a substitute and can complement his playing style with Curry. The guy knows how to play with the team when he doesn't need to do the scoring, it's just that when he's the one tasked to do so, he kind forgets that it's not a 1v9 game.
They are very impressive on their recent wins at home, without Curry, they still manage to win. Also, there was one game where Thompson rested, they still win, that's really impressive. however, I'm concerned about their road record, because as good as they are at their home, they are playing worst when they are on the road.
Probably it is a problem if they are winning at home but losing on the road is surely bothersome I think the Warriors without Curry can not do it, Jordan Poole is used in the limelight with the cheering fans with him, but surely for a player hearing negative things with your crown could surely affect your performance and your productivity, this is a psychological thing with basketball and I think Stephen Curry has already clear those tendencies when playing on the road now it is time for Jordan Poole to clear his head up and try to be out of the open for once,
I think Klay can carry Poole in terms of mental fortitude and conditioning the mind of the rookie on the road. Plus you have Wiggins nearing his return to the game. The rookie's got the best support that he can get on the team, all the while proving to people that he's the real deal and his talent is not only for his home court. They just need a little more wiggle to find their groove, and even though they've lost a lot recently on the road, I still believe that they'll be able to bounce back and get a good record before Curry joins the team after resting from his injury.
