Jordan Poole of the Washington Wizards might be putting up some of the best numbers of his career, but that doesn’t mean that he is going to be an All-Star this year.
However, Poole feels that he is deserving of being an All-Star, even though he didn’t make the cut this season.
According to Mark Medina, via NBACentral, Poole opened up about the level he is playing at.
“I definitely think that I’m an All-Star. I play at an All-Star level. A lot of it can be political and situational. But performance wise, I think that I’m an All-Star,” Poole said.

Poole is averaging 21.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game this season, shooting 42.4 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from the three-point line.
This is his best season with the Wizards, although the team is still struggling mightily and will miss the playoffs again.
Poole said he thinks that sitting out of the All-Star Game is both “political and situational,” but what does that mean?
The political aspect might be because Poole has upset some people in the past because of his personality and his time with the Golden State Warriors.
As for the situational, it is hard for a player like Poole to really have an impact when he is on such a sub-par team that doesn’t get a lot of attention.
Until he moves to a new team or the Wizards get better, Poole won’t be watched by many people.
He could be posting a strong average, but that isn’t enough to get people to tune into a team that is such a mess.
There have been questions about Poole’s future with the Wizards and speculation about him leaving for another team.
Right now, it looks like he will stay put in DC, and that could continue to hurt his chances of being an All-Star.
