With a 3-21 record in the East already, the Washington Wizards have nothing left to play for this season. As the team continues deteriorating, its star guard, Jordan Poole, has already amassed an incredible collection of lowlights in Washington. Tonight’s 98–112 loss against the Boston Celtics was one of his worst games.
Sam Hauser contested the wide-open shot, forcing Poole to pass and squandering what might have been a classic moment. Poole had crossed Payton Pritchard over and had the Celtics star on the ground when he chose to point at him rather than shoot the ball.
Jordan Poole was traded to the Wizards from the Warriors, having beef with Draymond Green. Veterans like Poole have the absolute green light, which they may exploit to increase their value to winning teams, given the Wizards’ tendency to tank. But in his 15 months with the Wizards, Poole has done anything. He routinely accumulates viral lowlights like this one that support the notion that he isn’t a successful player.
The Wizards suffered yet another lopsided defeat at home as the defending champs easily defeated them. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 28 points and 12 rebounds, while six other players also scored double figures.
Jordan Poole Hasn’t Been Up To The Mark Since Joining The Wizards
With 21 points (8-19 FG) in 36 minutes, Poole led the Wizards in scoring, as every starter scored more than 12 points. Despite posting high numbers, the former NBA Champion hasn’t demonstrated the same kind of promise he exhibited with the Golden State Warriors since being moved to the Wizards.
Poole is having his most outstanding season in terms of output, scoring 20.3 points and dishing out 5.1 assists per game. However, it hasn’t resulted in any favorable outcomes for the Wizards on the court.

Poole may be a pure scorer or sixth man on a winning team in the future. However, most head coaches would be enraged by his lowlight-causing behaviors. Since joining the Wizards, he has not attracted any interest from other teams. This is most likely because of his three-year, $100.5 million deal.
