Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole went off Sunday, dropping 33 points and hitting eight shots from deep in the Warriors 119-104 win over the Toronto Raptors. Poole accomplished something special that even Stephen Curry is yet to accomplish.

Poole scored 33 points on only 13 shots attempted. In doing so, he joined Kevin Durant as the only players in Warriors history to do so.

The Warriors drafted Jordan Poole 28th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. They are finally getting the hoped return on their investment. Poole started the season hot and cold, but in the month of November, he has really taken his game to a new level. 

On November 3rd against the Charlotte Hornets, Poole hit seven treys on his way to his first 30 point output of the season. Since then, he has not looked back. Prior to joining Durant Sunday, he dropped 32 points the game before.

With the emergence of Jordan Poole, the Warriors have looked head and shoulders above the rest of the league. The win Sunday improved their record to 15-2. Stephen Curry is once again playing at an MVP level.

 

Draymond Green is looking more like the former player we saw during the team's dominance a few years ago. He is crashing the glass and distributing the ball effectively.

Head coach Steve Kerr has even found a way to unlock Andrew Wiggins' potential. Wiggins has scored more per game in the past, but he has never played so efficiently. This team does not need a ton from him offensively, even though 18 points per game is more than nothing.

But one can argue that Jordan Poole has been the biggest difference with the team this year.
