Jordan Poole has struggled mightily this NBA postseason, leading some competitors to question how valuable the fourth-year guard really is.

As much as everyone wants to shit on Jordan Poole and his "horrible" contract...
It's $128M over 4 years. He's turning 24 this month.
He got that off of 18.5 ppg on 45/36/92 shooting.
Reaves averaged 13 ppg on 53/40/86. Up from 7 on 46/32/84 the previous year. He's 25.
Not sure how much better Reaves is on defense... Poole has one more turnover per game than him... Otherwise his contract year performance
wipes the floor with that of Reaves. Similar quality numbers this year with a fall off in shooting that I wonder if we'll also see with Reaves, who was close to 30% from three a year ago before averaging 40% this year.
In terms of offense, I would
much rather have Poole for $128 than Reaves for $100.
