Jordan Poole ended Monday's 121-119 win over the Hawks with 26 points (9-17 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals over 33 minutes.Poole has eclipsed the 25-point mark in two of his three appearances this season, and he seems firmly entrenched as the Washington Wizards' primary offensive option just three games into the season. The main problem with Poole lies in his lack of efficiency, but in formats where field-goal percentages do not matter, he's been excellent in the first week of the campaign.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Scores 26 in loss to Boston
Jordan Poole finished with 26 points (9-17 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and four steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 loss to Boston.Poole caught fire early on and scored 17 points in the first quarter, but the Celtics held him in check the rest of the way. It was a strong showing for the guard, who's now operating as a floor general for the Washington Wizards. Even though one game is not enough to draw solid conclusions, Poole seems to be the one that will set the tone offensively for Washington, which could lead to him hovering around the 20-point mark regularly going forward.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Leads Wizards in scoring
Jordan Poole finished with 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), a rebound and five assists across 18 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason win over the Knicks.Poole was one of five players who scored in double digits for the Washington Wizards in this preseason finale, though perhaps the most impressive tidbit out of this outing is that he needed only 18 minutes to do so. Poole figures to operate as one of the Wizards' primary options on offense in 2024-25, another year in which the franchise will operate under a rebuilding status.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Scores team-high 13 points
Jordan Poole finished with 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Monday's 131-92 preseason loss to the Nets.Poole was the leading scorer for the Washington Wizards on Monday, though that also shows how bad the team was on the offensive end of the court. Poole is expected to be one of the Wizards' few reliable fantasy options regularly, and while it remains to be seen how he'll play at point guard, it's worth noting the scoring should be there one way or another. After all, Poole has averaged at least 17.0 points per game in his last three seasons.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Rough shooting night Friday
Jordan Poole managed three points (1-7 FG, 0-6 3PT, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Raptors.Poole was ice cold from the floor, missing all six of his three-point attempts. He is slated to be the starting point guard to open the season, providing him a relatively safe floor, assuming you can land him in the eighth or ninth round of drafts. The scoring could be inconsistent, as we saw here, but he should have a long leash given the Washington Wizards are again unlikely to prioritize winning this season.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Starting season as point guard
Jordan Poole will be Washington's starting point guard and primary ballhandler to start the season, Bijan Todd of Monumental Sports Network reports.Poole, coach Brian Keefe and General Manager Will Dawkins collaborated to assess the best way to maximize what the 25-year-old can bring to the Washington Wizards' backcourt. Poole spent 46.1 percent of his on-ball touches working out of pick-and-roll last season, but he mustered a subpar 47.4 effective field-goal percentage on those possessions -- ranking 61st out of 62 qualifying ball handlers. Washington is attempting to rehabilitate Poole's efficiency as he enters Year 2 of a four-year, $128 million contract. On an individual level, Poole's total performance improved after the All-Star break, as he averaged 20.9 points and 5.8 assists while shooting 43.4 percent from the field and 35.9 percent on 8.9 threes per game across 26 regular-season contests.

Poole missed the final two games of the campaign due to an illness, but as expected, that won't impact him to start the 2024-25 campaign.
