Jordan Poole Signs 4 Year, $140M Extension With The Golden State Warriors

Before the October 17th deadline, the Warriors and Jordan Poole agreed in principle to a four-year, $140 million contract extension, more than 6th Man of the Year Tyler Herro, who established the market earlier this month, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. This was planned even before the team’s incident with Draymond Green last week, but after Poole appeared to be the deciding factor in getting Green only as a punishment, he made it clear that his maturity is worth the additional cost.

There is many of reasons for Poole’s contract renewal. He had 18.5 points, 4 assists, and 3.4 rebounds, and although his shooting wasn’t great at first glance (44.8% from the field and 36% from three), his mass as a 3rd-year player and his shooting difficulty depending on the context of His slashes are good and improved as his shot selection become more refined. His free throw is also the best in the league at 92.5%, cementing his potential down the line.

Poole features as a roster of future main fighters with this expansion now complete. He’s been hailed as the “Steph Disciple”, with his propensity and skills to mirror the double MVP. Curry’s mentoring of Poole will be key to his growth, raising the ceiling on his All-Star potential to possibly become an All-NBA candidate or higher.
