Draymond Green and Jordan Poole have now been separated after the latter joined the Washington Wizards, and the 24-year-old only had nice things to say about certain team-mates
New Washington Wizards shooting guard Jordan Poole showed affection for Steph Curry and Klay Thompson during an interview with his new team but didn’t mention Draymond Green.
Poole was traded to the Wizards this offseason when the Golden State Warriors acquired veteran Chris Paul, in a multi-team trade that also saw Bradley Beal head to the Phoenix Suns. Poole was one of the young talents on the team, but last season was masked by a reported fight between him and Green.
Footage was leaked of Green punching the 24-year-old as tensions flared, and both players have been hesitant to speak about the incident when asked. But Poole made his feelings clear about Green after moving to the Wizards, thanking Curry and Thompson and not Green.
Poole is excited for his new chapter with the Wizards, although he’s leaving some close friends behind in Golden State. Curry and Thompson took Poole under their wing, and he’s delighted with what he learned under their mentorship.
