Poole’s might be the most irrational, in all the worst ways. According to Synergy, there are 64 players who’ve run at least 50 isolation plays that have ended in a shot, pass, or turnover this season. Poole’s 0.68 points per possession on those plays ranks 64th.
He’s somehow averaging fewer shots than last year, with lower usage and assist rates. The result: 16.3 points per game and an effective field goal percentage that ranks dead last out of 95 players who’ve logged at least 900 minutes this season. That’s 40.7 percent from the floor and 31 percent from behind the arc, splits terrible enough to make his $123 million contract extension radioactive.
