The Washington Wizards aren't exactly known as a team with a good reputation for making the right decisions.
In fact, Washington has created a reputation for themselves for making poor decisions when it comes to their roster construction over the past few years.
Looking at the decision to pull the plug on the Deni Avdija experiment seemingly one year too soon and letting emerging star Ryan Rollins slip through their hands, there's no doubt that the Wizards have plenty of regrets when it comes to their past choices.
However, not all the moves the team has made have come back to bite them in the end.
Looking at the start for one of the team's most recent dismissals, the team's decision to move on this offseason looks more than vindicated.
Jordan Poole's struggles make the Wizards look brilliant
When the Wizards made the decision to move on from Jordan Poole this offseason in exchange for CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk from the New Orleans Pelicans, many wondered how this move made sense for Washington.
The Wizards were ultimately getting much older at their most concerning roster position and were set to lose the player that served as the team's primary ball handler last season.
However, the financial flexibility bringing in McCollum's expiring contract was one of the most motivating factors for the team to make the deal.
Beyond that, moving on from their long-term commitment of Poole's contract was yet another big reason.
Nonetheless, the harsh reality about the team's decision to pull the plug on the Poole Party in the DMV following his career-year is the Wizards front office brass and coaching staff were both on the same page that the guard would not be their long-term answer at the position.
Between his inefficient play, inconsistency and lack of leadership, Washington had no real reason to keep him around for the rebuild.
Fast forward to the start of this season, not only has Poole been dealing with injuries, but the guard has underwhelmed with his play on the court when he has been active,
Averaging 17.3 points, 3.4 assists and 1.7 rebounds, while shooting an abysmal 35.4% from field goal range and 33.9% from beyond the arc, the Michigan product has been a hard watch for the first few games in New Orleans.
All that to say, the Wizards decision to move on from Poole may have been their best decision in recent memory.
