You seem much more comfortable in Washington now as opposed to your first season. What has changed this season? Jordan Poole: It was just a completely new environment. I’m such a unique person and a unique player that it just takes time for me to get acclimated and then for my teammates and coaches or whatnot to kind of get me acclimated as well. It took a little bit. But shout out to coach BK [Keefe] because he trusts me and he put me in a position where I could thrive. We talked about that as soon as he became coach. It’s been night and day. -via Andscape / March 10, 2025​

But the way Poole sees it, stay patient because change is coming to Washington. “I’m coming from an organization where everything is under the spotlight. Like everything,” Poole, who was traded to the Wizards on July 2, 2023, after four seasons with Golden State, told Andscape. “Practice, travel, games, players. But the [opposing] players know me now. The [opposing] coaches definitely know me because the way I’m seeing coverages throughout the course of the game, they’re very aware of me. “New environment, new situation. It’s only a matter of time before we put ourselves in that situation too, to be at the biggest stage as well. It’s what we’re grinding for.” -via Andscape / March 10, 2025​
