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.

Hes settling in.

Last year were bad shots but he wanted it so bad.

Washington Wizards Jordan Poole is shooting well in the 2024-25 season Poole shot 8-for-20 from the floor and finished with 24 points.

Speaking of his shot selection, he still could improve in that area.

In the loss to the Warriors, the former Michigan Wolverines star went aggressive with his 3-point shots, going only 2-for-10 from behind the arc.

However, Poole has solid advanced shooting stats.

So far in the 2024-25 NBA season, Poole has a 57.1 effective field goal percentage and 61.9 true shooting percentage.

Even with his cold shooting form from deep in the Warriors game, Poole is still making 45.3 percent of his attempts from the 3-point area this season.
