Poole, 23, is heading into his fourth season with the Warriors after the team selected him late in the first round (28th overall) of the 2019 NBA Draft. He's coming off of a breakout campaign in which he started in 51 games, averaged 18.5 points, 4.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds per performance, and proved to be an integral part of Golden State's offensive attack.

Over the final 12 games of the regular season without Curry in the lineup, the 23-year-old averaged 26 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. He also led the NBA in made 3-pointers in March.

Poole struggled to escape the G League in his first two seasons in the league, averaging just 10.3 points on 38.1% shooting in 20.9 minutes per game. But in 76 regular-season games in 2021-22, his production improved across the board, to 18.5 points on 44.8% shooting while earning 30 minutes per game.

Poole was recently in the news for being on the receiving end of a punch from teammate Draymond Green during practice. Green has since apologized for his actions and took a leave of absence from the team for several days. He was also fined an undisclosed amount by the organization.

Now the two players will look to put their issues behind them and come together in order to help the Warriors try to repeat as NBA champions.
