Golden State Warriors’ Jordan Poole, Anthony Lamb key parts of evolving bench. Plus an Andre Iguodala update
SAN FRANCISCO — The NBA’s crackdown on travel and carry violations slapped the Warriors sideways a few times this year, most recently on Steph Curry’s called travel on what could have been a game-tying 3-pointer in Dallas. But Jordan Poole has been the team’s worst offender.
“It does not matter,” Poole said. “They’re either going to call it or not. You can go up there and plead your case as much as you want, but they have a mind of their own. No matter what you say, how polite you are, they have their own agenda.” “Earlier in the season, when I was out there being a primary playmaker, that’s how I was being guarded,” Poole said. “So being able to have another playmaker out there who can also set screens and get guys open opens the floor a lot more.”
Lamb was a late addition to the roster — he was not on the pre-season trip to Japan — signed after a stint with the Houston Rockets’ G League affiliate. He had a huge fan already in coach Steve Kerr, who took note of Lamb’s passing ability and feel while watching a game between the RGV Vipers and Santa Cruz Warriors.
