Poole sees more similarities between the situation he has in Washington and what Harden had in Houston. “I feel like he did it in a really good way. The team was behind him, the organization was behind him, the coaches were behind him. That gave him the trust and the confidence to go be him and be himself. That’s what is going on over here,” Poole said. “Coach Wes is allowing me to be aggressive, play my game, so are my teammates. I feel like I studied enough to go about this properly and it will be cool to see how it plays out.”
