Former Michigan Wolverines basketball standout Jordan Poole is continuing his ascent.

Poole struggled early on in his second NBA season with the Golden State Warriors, posting just 5.3 points per game in 7.6 minutes per contest in the month of January. He was sent down to the G-League bubble to work on his game and get more opportunity at a lower level.

He embraced the challenge and was called back up to the Warriors' roster in March. Poole has shined ever since, taking his opportunity and running with it.

In eight games since returning to the club, Poole is averaging 20.6 points, 2.5 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game, while shooting 51.3 percent overall and 41 percent from long range. He's scored 20 or more points four times, including in three of his last four games.

Poole has stepped into the starting lineup the last three contests for the injured Steph Curry and has seen 34 minutes of action or more in those contests, now a trusted member of the rotation.

“He’s been fantastic every single game since he’s come back from Orlando,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said.
