Poole had been one of the best young guards in the NBA when he was a member of the Golden State Warriors.

He struggled in his first year with the Wizards but had a big bounce-back season in 2024-25.

The 26-year-old averaged 20.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 43.2% from the field and 37.8% from the three-point range in 68 games.
