When the Golden State Warriors destroyed the San Antonio Spurs 132-95, Jordan Poole had a standout effort.

After a rocky start to the season, Pool led the Warriors with 36 points, making him the target of criticism for a Warriors team that finished the season 6-8.

Another player going through a hard patch is Klay Thompson, whose poor start to the season has prompted Charles Barkley to come out and criticise him.

The prospect of Klay sitting out and Poole replacing him as Stephen Curry's new backcourt mate was being revived by fans.

Poole is crucial in that situation since the Warriors struggle to score off the bench.

So far, this season has been disappointing. He started tonight and scored 36 points, so Steve Kerr will at the very least consider switching up the starting lineup.

Although Clay's defensive prowess isn't what it once was, his court awareness makes him a lot better defender than Poole.

With a 33% 3-point shooting percentage, Thompson averages 14.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and other stats.

With 17.1 points, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 rebounds per game this season on average, Poole's scoring and efficiency are both subpar.
