On October 5, Beijing time, US media clutchpoints analyzed the renewal of Warriors defender Jordan Poole . After Taylor Hiro received a 4-year, $130 million fat contract, Poole has the best reference object. US media clutchpoints believes that Poole's efficiency is higher than that of Hiro , especially in playoffs , and Poole can be competent as a full-time organizational defender. There is no reason why Poole's contract is worse than that of Hiro.
Poole said during training camp that he will not be affected by the contract renewal, and his main task is to help the Warriors defend their title successfully. The Warriors are considering salary pressure. The contract of Wiggins will expire next summer. If Poole's contract is given 100 million yuan, then if the contract of Wiggins is renewed next summer, the total salary of the Warriors will reach a very terrifying level. In addition to the high luxury tax, it is unbearable for the Warriors to bear.
Warriors have not reached an agreement with Poole for a long time. Cole said: "This kind of contract renewal negotiations will always be delayed until the last moment." The deadline for the early renewal of the 2019 rookie and the team is October 17 local time, so if the Warriors want to renew the contract with Poole, they have to hurry up and settle the contract.
Poole performed well last season and was very efficient in both the regular season and the playoffs. Poole averaged 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in the regular season, shooting 44.8% from the field, 36.4% from three-point shooting percentage and 92.5% from free throws. Poole averaged only 27.5 minutes per game, scoring 17.0 points and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 50.8% from the field, 39.1% from three-point shooting percentage and 91.5% from free throws.
US media clutchpoints said that according to the data from NBA official website, compared with Hiro, Poole is a more explosive and has more changes. Poole's shooting percentage at the basket last season reached 66.2%. Poole's breakthrough layup rate was nearly 10% higher than Hero's 45.5%, and his free throw percentage was also higher.
In 82 games, Herro is an excellent long-range shooter, but from an overall efficiency perspective, Poole has performed much better in the playoffs.
Poole played in the playoffs for the first time last season, with a two-point shooting percentage of 62.7%, and an effective shooting percentage of the entire playoffs reached 60.6%, ending his championship journey. The rookie Shero helped Heat to reach the finals at Disney in Orlando, with an effective shooting percentage of 52.0%.
After Hiro renewed his contract, the issue of position and defense became a factor in Poole's renewal price adjustment. Last season when Poole was on the court, Curry was on the bench, and the Warriors had an offensive efficiency of 111.4.
Hiro is not the maximum salary contract. US media clutchpoints said that there is more than $6 million in maneuver between Hero's expected salary in the 2023-24 season and Poole's expected maximum salary of $33.5 million. Perhaps Poole and the Warriors found common ground before October 17 (local time). Do you think Poole should get a bigger contract than Hero?
