Aside from the fact that he really have some skills, he is doing everything he could and bring a good performance even if it was just a pre-season game because he is aiming for the Warriors to give him an extension. I mean, any team could probably give him the figure he wanted because he is really a superstar in the making but only the Warriors these days can help him to have more rings in the future.
Yes, this is a reality!
I believe the Warriors are giving Poole a great opportunity to grow. Not to mention, he will have some experienced players to help him, for example Curry and Thompson.
If he improves, gaining consistency and others important attributes, he will become a great diamond that the Warriors are polishing.
From the way GSW building Poole, seems to me that they are really bringing everything out from this young star,
they are giving all the minutes that he needed to fuel up and showcasing his skills and talents.
That kind of confidence that once being given to Steph, and if Poole continues making that impact, it is safe to
assume that he might be the next main alpha of this team. He just needed to stay down like how Steph is doing
and let the fans bring more support, still young and just like how you describe it, he's a diamond that the team
is polishing and for sure it will be paid by millions of dollars. Just keep improving and let the future dictate for his
career's directions.
Poole has shown excellent performance during the pre-season. Also, it is encouraging to see that the team is also trying to make sure that the young player is able to reach his maximum potential. In addition, from what I have seen, it appears that he is becoming more and more of an impact player as the days pass. If he keeps performing like this, he is going to get the support of the fans quite easily. That will eventually enable the player to play much better and be more enthusiastic and optimistic about his future.
People might think that optimism is unproductive, but I think it can be a positive thing for the players. As long as the player is in a positive mindset and stays out of the negativity that comes towards him, he will be able to achieve success.
I think the way Poole is playing right now, with the support of his team will be able to be one of the best. And obviously, I agree with @carlisle1 he can be the next main Alpha of this team.
