After coming off the bench his freshman season, Michigan’s Jordan Poole started all 37 games as a sophomore. He has appeared on each edition of our aggregate mock draft exercise since last summer. However, his rank only cracked the Top 60 one time during the previous nine iterations and was No. 79 earlier this month. Now, he projects as a late second-rounder.
The 20-year-old guard was one of the most efficient spot-up shooters in the nation (91st percentile) last season. He was also able to operate well out of the pick-and-roll as both a scorer and as a playmaker, which is how he was able to finish more than one-third of his offensive possessions.
He was also a plus-defender who ranked Top 15 among all NCAA players in defensive win shares. During athletic testing at the 2019 NBA Combine, his
lane agility time ranked in the 92nd percentile at his position.
Poole has had at least eight reported pre-draft workouts, according to our research department.
