NBA Fans React To Jordan Poole’s Performance Against Suns
Here’s what people were saying about Poole:
@Stevinho21: “Was Jordan Poole hurt or sick tonight? It didn’t look like he even wanted to be on the court”
@parlaypropman: “Jordan Poole minutes frustrate the hell out of me man”
@CrawfishKing: “Jordan Poole being hesitant on wide open shots is head scratching. Last night you was launching contested shots like you was the only one on the court. #Pelicans might be dealing with a head case in this guy”
Shane Young: “Rasheer Fleming with some fantastic defense. Starts this possession by stunting and being in the gaps to disrupt the drive. Then, stonewalls Jordan Poole and forces him to give it up”
Sean Cunningham: “JORDAN POOLE’S REACTION!! 🤣🤣🤣”
