Warriors rookie Jordan Poole jokes about locker next to Draymond Green

Share

The Warriors' 2019 draft class tried on the blue and gold officially for the first time on Friday -- and they all looked fresh. Or whatever the cool kids say.

Jordan Poole, Alen Smailagić and Eric Paschall tried on their new garb and posed for photos, but Poole was a bit apprehensive knowing his locker was next to Draymond Green's. 

“They’ve got me next to Draymond, early," Poole said. "I think Draymond is going to do something like ... put his dirty socks on my chair or something.”

Poole attended Michigan for college and with Draymond attending its rival Michigan State, perhaps the dirty socks, if that's the course Green chooses, can be blamed on that.

The recent draftee will be expected to contribute immediately for next year's Warriors squad, and the coaching staff has credited him on what he's been bringing to the table. And with the unfortunate absence of Klay Thompson for much of next season, Poole's opportunity to shine will be in the spotlight. He's been aggressive so far in Summer League, which has him standing out.

But we will stay tuned to see how the locker placement situation changes as time goes on.

Could be fun.
