With the Warriors for his fourth season, Poole has watched his stats get better each time. The shooting guard from Michigan averaged 8.5 points on 33% shooting as a rookie, 12.0 points on 43% shooting in 2020–21, and then upped his average once more to 18.5 points on 45% shooting in the previous season when he assisted the Warriors in winning the NBA championship.

What Does This Extension Mean For Draymond Green ?
Naturally, the topic now turns to Draymond Green. Additionally, the four-time champion is in a contractual year. Many may be wondering if Green’s time with the Warriors is coming to an end after the Warriors signed Jordan Poole to a contract extension.
Many observers claimed that the two can no longer coexist in light of the occurrence. Even Warriors center Kevon Looney claimed that Green had lost the team’s confidence and needed to regain it. Green must maintain his best conduct in the locker room while still making a significant choice.
Additionally, there have been reports that he may seek to transfer to the LA Lakers.

The Warriors will lose a floor general and a vocal leader if Draymond Green opts out and the franchise does not grant him a contract extension. The Big Three, which consisted of Green, Steph Curry, and Klay Thompson, would also be over. In the previous eight seasons, the trio has won four championships.
Only time will tell how events in Golden State turn out with only a few days till the start of the season.
