Wizards' Jordan Poole continues run of recent bloopers
Washington Wizards shooting guard Jordan Poole scored a season-high 30 points in his team's 142-129 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. His performance may get overshadowed by yet another boneheaded blooper that came in the fourth quarter, however.
This is far from the first time during his brief career in the nation's capital when Poole has produced a highlight prime for "Shaqtin' a Fool."
During an October game against the Boston Celtics, the Michigan product nonchalantly dribbled into the paint and then even more casually took the ball behind the arc. Poole then chucked up a no-look three-point attempt, only to get rejected by center Kristaps Porzingis, whom the guard didn't realize had followed him.
In an October contest against the Memphis Grizzlies, the 24-year-old attempted a corner three-pointer and spun around with uber-confidence of a successful shot a la Nick "Swaggy P" Young. The only problem was that the attempt rimmed out.
During an early November tilt against the Atlanta Hawks, Poole was booed by the opposing fans after tossing an alley-oop off the backboard with the Wizards trailing by 21 points.
The 2019 first-round pick has averaged 16.6 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 29.2 minutes per contest across his first 13 games with Washington.
