Rotowire
Poole had 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and four steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 107-92 loss to the Rockets.

Poole is averaging 20.0 points per game and should remain a capable player in most formats, but his lack of efficiency certainly limits his upside in some leagues, particularly the category-based ones.

It was a strong showing for the guard, who's now operating as a floor general for the Wizards.
