He's made some good defensive plays, but I haven't seen him hit a shot yet.
not just a shooter.
he's a 2 all the way. 3 is probably stretching it considering he's only 6'4"-6'5".
I think Beilein will find a role for Poole next season. He's much smaller than Duncan Robinson, but seems long and offers a very similar skillset on offense. Also - I knew about his shooting, but he has better ballhandling skills than I expected.
I know there's a huge contigent frustrated with JB's recruiting, but I really like the potential of this 2017 class. Brooks, Poole and Livers all fit very well into JB's system and all are quality athletes.
you forgot about bamba
Actually caught part of this game at the local athletic center, and I did like what I was seeing from Jordan Poole - he seems like he'll fit nicely into Beilein's system.
There were one or two people on the MGoBlog site on their phone near me, I noticed. We are indeed everywhere, even here in little old Romulus.
is gonna help us. Poole
He has a very smooth outside shot, knocking down a few three clutch threes from NBA range. The announcers kept commenting that he was one of the best three point shooters in the class. Just what we need! And he seemed to have decent handles and athleticism so I doubt he'll be just a shooter. And he had a great defensive game as well with a couple huge steals and one forced turnover!
If Brooks turns out to be a solid PG (he did get a Nova offer), this is shaping up to be a great class. We also have Michigan Mr. Basketball Livers and the elite Kentucky transfer Matthews.
