Father Of Jordan Poole Seems To Be Taking Swipe At Michigan Starter

Jordan Poole is officially staying in the NBA Draft, it was announced yesterday. Speaking with The Athletic’s Brendan Quinn, the father of Jordan, said the following about playing with Zavier Simpson:

“The way the offense is, to keep [Zavier Simpson] on the floor, you have to keep him as a ball-dominant point guard. That’s how you use [Simpson] in the best way. … That’s just the way it is. It’s not the fault of (Simpson) or anybody else, but it limits what Jordan can do,” Poole’s dad, Anthony, told The Athletic.

“It was just going to be the same concept [this year]. How does Jordan develop or get better?”
