The Golden State Warriors head coach, Steve Kerr, was vocal about Jordan Poole’s shifting role in the team after they barely managed to win against the Houston Rockets on Friday. The Warriors who are currently on 2nd in the West table were having a hard time finding their footing against the last-placed Rockets. Ultimately, it was Chef Curry’s buzzer-beater that turned out to be the Warrior’s salvation.

Like Curry, Jordan Pool too had a key role in the victory. He had one of his more efficient outings of the season, scoring 20 points on 7-15 shooting. However, Poole hasn’t had many good shooting nights since Klay Thompson returned from his injury.

Talking about Jordan Poole’s shifting role in the team due to Klay’s return, Steve Kerr showed that he will not entertain any excuses to justify poor performance. Kerr, himself a former champion, advised Poole, “It doesn’t matter what your role is — play your ass off every night”

Jordan Poole’s new role in the Warriors

Ever since the ‘Splash Bro’ returned, Poole has been pushed to the Warriors’ bench and has been facing difficulty adjusting. However, when Thompson rests, as he did against Houston, Poole is promoted back to the starting lineup. He has displayed inconsistency in his new role, which must be challenging for a player whose performance is generally strong.

In both the games where Klay was in the starting lineup, Poole was only able to contribute 5 points in more than 20 minutes of playing time. Specifically, he was shooting at a 1-7 FG against the Pacers and 2-6 against the Pistons. Moreover, he missed all his three-point attempts in both games.
