Jordan Poole Says He’s Being Protected Like Steph Curry

After signing a significant contract extension, it was obvious that Jordan Poole could no longer go unnoticed.

This is probably true even if the contract hadn’t been extended because Poole was a big part of Golden State winning the NBA Championship last season.

Poole was not always a player of this caliber, having been selected late in the first round and playing in multiple G-League competitions.

It is clear that opposing defenses are now much more focused on him than they were at the beginning of his career.

Poole is adjusting to the increased defensive attention he is receiving now

Poole claims that second units are protecting him in the same way that starting units are protecting Steph Curry.

Even though Poole might think so, there is no other player in the NBA who is subjected to the kinds of coverages that Steph Curry is every night.
