Jordan Poole

Submitted by Matte Kudasai on January 24th, 2020 at 2:45 PM

Jordan Poole is shooting 27.8% FG and 26.5% from 3.  

The worst career shooting % in NBA history is 27.1  Charles Barkley shot 26.6% from 3.

He is on pace for the single worst shooting (high volume) season in the history of the NBA.

Wow.

His NBA career is already a success. If he can manage to get a second NBA contract, its even better.

No, but CEOs who can A) jump from one high-paying job to the next...or...B) touch down gently w/ a golden parachute...are not, absolutely not, valid analogies.

If a college player is faced with risking jobs in cubicle farms for the rest of life (no draft improvement, injury, etc), OR, first making $2MM guaranteed and then risking jobs in cubicle farms for the rest of life, then that player's NBA paychecks absolutely do make it a successful career choice.

 

How long would $2MM last in the regular career life?  A long fricking time, and it's not even close.

He signed a 2 year/$4mil contract (with options for the next 2 seasons worth another $7mil). Still a better value than returning for another year.

It's like expecting an EECS major to turn down their dream Silicon Valley job junior year just bc they haven't graduated yet.

I can at least sort of understand it on the posts where people are racing to break news and be the first to post something. But when you just want to whine about some former player and their performance in the pros days after this topic was thoroughly discussed:

1. Don’t post it

2. If you just can’t resist don’t bugger the title

3. But really, don’t.

So I assume Shea Patterson hasn't done anything today, hence we gotta beat on someone else who had the temerity to do something a bunch of fans online disagreed with.

for fuck’s sake how many times does this need to be discussed and how many of you precious, unique snowflakes need to say exactly the same fucking things about the same fucking topics? fuck off op
