He’ll be an important part of our future core and success, much like he was during last year’s run to the NBA championship.”
The extension comes ahead of Monday’s deadline for members of the 2019 NBA Draft class. It also comes on the heels of teammate Draymond Green’s punch of Poole during a recent practice.
Poole, 23, is entering his fourth season after the Warriors selected him with the 28th overall pick in 2019.
