  COMMITMENT PROFILE class, but he's still like a young boy — I don't think he even has any facial hair. "Jordan handles himself really well. He comes from a good family that really values academics, and he con- ducts himself so well. He's a breath of fresh air in this business, and he's got two years to get better." Poole averaged a team-high 14.4 points plus 2.8 assists per game last year, while shooting 40 percent from three-point range. — Chris Balas FILM EVALUATION Strengths: Poole is a commodity in that he "shoots the ball and it goes in," Milwaukee Rufus King head coach Jim Gosz said. He can pull-up, shoot off the dribble and has range, but he's also developing his point guard skills and will eventually be a true combo guard. Areas of Improvement: Though athletic enough, Poole won't wow anyone with his physical skills. He is still learning how to play with the ball in his hands and when to be more assertive in taking the ball to the rim. Michigan Player Comparison: Poole is reminiscent of former Michigan guard Dion Harris (2003-07). He's the same size, can shoot it and pass it, and can play the point when called upon. Like Harris, he possesses a high basketball IQ and enough athleticism to excel at the next level. — Analysis from TheWolverine.com
