No. 22 Portland Trail Blazers: Jordan Poole, SG
School: Michigan | Class: Sophomore | Height: 6’5” | Weight: 195 | Age: 19
Portland is a team that likes to score from deep. They are currently shooting 36.3 percent on three-point shots, good for seventh in the NBA.
Jordan Poole is another guy that can knock down jumpers, hitting 38.8 percent of his threes this year and 45.2 percent of his field goal attempts overall. Poole is an excellent scorer that can thrive in a bench role. However, he is a very streaky shooter, which hurts his value at the NBA level. From January 10th to February 9th, Poole shot just 34.4 percent and averaged 10.7 points per contest.
In order to succeed in the NBA, Jordan Poole needs to become a more convincing player on offense, but Portland is an organization that could utilize his skill set, sitting him behind Lillard and McCollum. — Luke Parrish
