Jordan Poole
The Golden State Warriors picked up the 3rd year option on Jordan Poole’s contract choosing to keep him with the team and avoiding sending him into the free agent pool.
Poole was the 1st-round draft pick for the Warriors after leaving Michigan early for the NBA after only 2 seasons.
Way to go, Jordan!
Go Blue!

Every time this happens I assume it has to be trolling. It's like at least 3-4 times a week lately.
December 30th, 2020 at 3:43 PM ^
I wish. No, it's almost always somebody like the OP for this work of art thread title who hits 100 MgoPoints and simply HAS to start a thread. You know, because now they finally can.
And because most of them, again like the OP, are infrequent visitors to the site and even more infrequent contributors they dont know the house rules. So they manage to violate them right away because they dont know any better and then, if they're like the dude a week or so ago who made reference to getting upvotes for his post (which obviously didnt happen) they get mad and storm off.
Rinse, repeat.
December 30th, 2020 at 2:52 PM ^
I assumed, based on the Justin Feagin experience, that the OP meant Mr. Poole was leaving school. I was anticipating having to notify Keith Jackson.
December 30th, 2020 at 3:12 PM ^
When you talk to Keith, can you ask if he has any intel on the status of Devin Gardner's redshirt?
December 30th, 2020 at 1:13 PM ^
Happy to see him stay with a respectable franchise that is clearly focused on developing their young players. Hope they have more success this year.

People who only comment to tell you that your title is uninformative have the analytical mind of a cheeseburger and were gonna click no matter what.
December 30th, 2020 at 1:56 PM ^
Mmmmm... cheeseburgers!
December 30th, 2020 at 5:42 PM ^
I truly apologize for the “ButterTitle”. Could have sworn I typed more than “Jordan Poole” as the subject line. Result speaks differently though. {At least the Body looks good though!}
Neg away. I deserve it and expected it after such an irresponsible act. Realized it right I clicked save and saw the catastrophic damage and there was no way to edit. (bigger problem IMHO)
If the mods could please add a word or few to the title, it would be greatly appreciated. The subject actual subject was a good thing to discuss.
Again, Sincerely Sorry my haste hijacked people who thought the worst’s emotions for a few seconds pre-click.
Neg me to 99 if needed.

This was started by the owner of the site, so...
December 30th, 2020 at 2:44 PM ^
What should I title my threads?
Please make your thread titles as informative as possible: "Justin Feagin" is bad. "Justin Feagin leaving the team?" is good.
December 30th, 2020 at 4:59 PM ^
Yeah, I get that there are these guidelines for a sportsyblog and we should follow them as if they are normative rules for a functioning society, but what I LOVE is how there are now 41 comments all saying the same thing. Just admit it, you all kinda love when this happens.
December 30th, 2020 at 5:48 PM ^
It's just annoying to see a post with nothing but someone's name and have no idea what it is about. Did he die? Did he get released? How hard is it to type, "Jordan Poole's option picked up?" It's not just a matter of following the rules. It's a matter of having consideration for the blog's other participants.
December 30th, 2020 at 1:15 PM ^
OMG, not again!

Oh, sorry, I thought the informative headline meant we were playing word association.

What is it about posting a players name and expecting us to read the posters minds that is so compelling?
All you have to do is provide context besides the name, this cannot be that hard.
Happy for Jordan and glad this got brought up, but please put a little more thought into the post next time.
December 30th, 2020 at 2:05 PM ^
What’s it like to be perfect?
December 30th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Like regular except for the typing "'s option picked up by gs" part.
December 30th, 2020 at 2:34 PM ^
Brother, I am all for grace about people making mistakes, but just posting someone’s name with no other context is really annoying and a well known bit of board etiquette.
December 30th, 2020 at 2:35 PM ^
You're right, it's way too high a bar. Unachievable standard, that.

It's REALLY hard to come up with an informative title when one's mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening thru a cosmic vapor of invention.
December 30th, 2020 at 2:16 PM ^
Posted under wrong comment.
December 30th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Did it again. Don’t know why. Not going to try it again.
December 30th, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
It’s incredibly hard.
December 30th, 2020 at 9:07 PM ^
Well shit, double post.

your thread title sucks
December 30th, 2020 at 1:23 PM ^
It amazes me how much we hammer posters for terrible titles like this and they still. keep. coming.
December 30th, 2020 at 3:51 PM ^
It's because they dont know any better. They're not on the board when the hammering occurs so they never see the board angst over shitty thread titles (and other things).
Face it - there are a ton of rules (some written down by Brian but damn hard to find) and some unwritten (that you learn by being here for a while) that are easy for relative newbies to violate.
I mean how hard would it be to give posters the ability to edit original threads like we used to be able to do pre-Huel? Or maybe provide a pop-up window when you hit "save" that listed a few of the more egregious thread violations that required you to click "I read and understand" prior to the thread being posted? Oh well....maybe some day.

Took all the time to type the post yet couldn't take 2 seconds more to finish a decent title. Boo. Boooo this mannnnn,
December 30th, 2020 at 1:39 PM ^
First assumption was that is was a stats post. Contract post would be my second assumption. If the post was about his girlfriend then I would require more info in the headline.
EDIT: Thank you Blue Vet, and congratulations to Mr. Poole.
December 30th, 2020 at 1:58 PM ^
Congratulations to him. Always glad to see a MIchigan [whatever] do well.
December 30th, 2020 at 2:03 PM ^
But Is he still the worst player in the NBA?
December 30th, 2020 at 3:30 PM ^
Not the worst player, but his shooting has been horrendous and Golden State is not very good anymore.
January 1st, 2021 at 1:17 AM ^
No, I believe Killian Hayes currently has the lowest PER for players with over 20 minutes per game. He is 310 out of 321 players. Poole is currently at 270.
December 30th, 2020 at 2:22 PM ^
Jordan Poole is better at basketball than Justin Feagin.
