Jordan Poole’s arrival on the youthful Wizards roster comes in the aftermath of the Bradley Beal era, and it appears that he’s been handed the keys to the offense with a green light to let his scoring prowess shine. Although the previous season may have fallen short of expectations for the team as a whole, Poole’s individual talent as a scorer remains undeniable. Even during what some might consider a “down year,” he managed to maintain an impressive 20 points per game average, with certain stretches where he ascended to near 30 points per game while operating as a starter.

This particular matchup presents a promising opportunity for Poole. The Hawks, despite their offensive firepower, don’t boast a particularly strong defensive game and find themselves ranking in the top 10 in terms of pace of play. This sets the stage for Poole to seize the moment and potentially have a standout performance on the offensive end of the court. Keep a keen eye on him; he could be in for a remarkable night of scoring.
