Golden State Warriors
Forgoing his junior and senior years at Michigan, Poole entered the NBA draft in 2019, and was selected by the Golden State Warriors. He made his first NBA start in late October, scoring 13 points in the Warriors’ first win of the season. Later, in December, Poole was sent to the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G-League. He was called back to the Golden State Warriors the following month, and scored a new career high of 21 points in a victory over the Orlando Magic. In his second season with the Warriors, Poole posted a new career high of 26 points in a loss to the Phoenix Suns; he went above and beyond that number a couple months later with 38 points in a win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Poole had his breakout NBA season in 2021-22. Beating out Otto Porter Jr. to become the Warriors’ starting shooting guard, he had an auspicious start to the season with 33 points – including eight three-pointers – in a victory over the Toronto Raptors. In early 2022, Poole began playing point guard alongside Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry. When Curry was sidelined late in the season, Poole picked up the slack by scoring 20 points or more in 18 of the final 20 games. He ended the regular season leading the NBA in free throw percentage. The Warriors went on to advance to the NBA playoffs, and ultimately the finals, where they beat the Boston Celtics in six games to give Poole his first NBA championship title. In October of 2022, Poole signed a four-year contract extension with the Warriors.
