On this weeks episode in ‘All Ball’ we discuss Jordan Poole, the 28th pick in the 2019 draft for the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors have been renowned for drafting and developing stars and have once again found another diamond in the rough.
With the Warriors facing a significant rebuild and back to back injuries for superstar Klay Thompson, Poole was given his opportunity in the NBA and has slowly developed his game under the mentorship of Steve Kerr. Fast forward to 2022 playoffs, and after an injury to Steph Curry, Poole was given a starting role as the team eased Curry back into the action. From the G League to starting in the playoffs ahead of the greatest shooter of all time, it has been quite the rise for the young star.
In ‘the Match’ we feature two of the heavyweights in the NBA, with the Philadelphia 79ers superstar- Joel Embiid facing Denver Nuggets and back to back Regular Season MVP- Nikola Jokic. With both plays still only 28 and 27 years of age, this rivalry will remain of the key matchups for years to come. Which big man is the best in the league?
And to round out the show in 'Rapid Fire', we highlight the Chicago Bulls and recap their remarkable rebuild. MJ's Bulls became a global brand during the 80's and 90's but have struggled to compete for championships since his departure. With a recent roster overhaul, the Bulls looked impressive with Demar Derozan leading the way. Can the Bulls compete for a championship next season?
