"Give me some time": Jordan Poole offers playful response to joining London Lions next season

Jordan Poole perhaps had the worst season of his career with the Washington Wizards. From being the future of a championship team to potentially being the leader of a young team, things didn’t go as planned for the Wizards star. Recently, Poole was in London on vacation and stopped by the London Lions’ quarterfinal game against Surrey Scorchers.

Poole and Sam Becker, the former Washington Wizards player who now plays for the London Lions, have known each other for a long time. In an interview with the commentators, Jordan Poole said he was there to support Becker, whom he has known since childhood.

During the candid interview, one of the commentators asked Poole if the Lions had tried to recruit him.

​

“No, not yet. They are trying to give me some time,” said Poole.

The Wizards finished the season as the league's second-worst team, just ahead of the Detroit Pistons.
