Poole can deliver, averaging 17.1 points per game and playing a more seasoned style with matured shot selection and passing. Poole hasn’t even shot well yet, at 28.9 percent on 8.1 tries from 3 per game. But there’s plenty of time for him to catch fire like he did toward the end of last season and this preseason. Though Thompson’s return will dig into his shots, Poole is a candidate right now for the Most Improved Player of the Year. Poole isn’t the only player thriving. All of the Warriors’ shooters can cut and pass at a high level, making them perfect for a motion offense that revolves around Curry. The Warriors once again have telepathetic ball movement, assisting on 69.9 percent of their passes. That’s the league high this season and the highest since the 2016-17 Dubs posted a 70.5 assist percentage.
