Kyle Kuzma is a champion, and so is his new teammate, Jordan Poole. Both are tremendous shooters, and both share a similar story with their respective teams with which they won their rings. Despite Kuzma’s talents and contributions, the Lakers traded him for Russell Westbrook, whereas the Warriors replaced Jordan to preserve their core.

Can this talented duo unleash their skills to put the Washington Wizards on the map? If they do, what would be their legend? As of now, they are enjoying each other’s company, and are embarrassing their teammates with their fun talent.

It was a practice session, and Jordan Poole was making his long stride crossover that the Dubs fans are familiar with, but not Deni Avidjia. He lunged forward only for Jordan Poole to dribble the ball between Avidjia’s legs and nutmeg him. And he also did not know that it was being filmed. Kuzma, who was the first to notice it, was so happy for the dynamic point guard that he jubilantly declared that it was “game over” in the below video.

The Warriors top dogs never hesitate to mention that their fourth ring was a possibility because of Jordan Poole’s contributions. The same was reflected in their contract extension to him. Yet, it all fell apart because of that one heated moment in training.

No matter how Draymond would like to postulate, he crossed the line when he sucker-punched Jordan Poole. With that, the Warriors’ two-timeline approach got washed into the drain and ruined Jordan Poole’s last season.

James Harden was just the “Beard” during his stint with OKC. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant’s presence stunted his growth, and his ceiling was “the Sixth Man of the Year” award. Only when he joined the Houston Rockets, he became “the Man” and the NBA world took notice of his sorcery. Jordan Poole has a similar story. In Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson’s presence, he was never going to get his due. But not anymore.

Jordan Poole’s trade to the Washington Wizards for Chris Paul could be a blessing in disguise. He can be the James Harden of the Wizards.
