Warriors' Jordan Poole: Set to start at Lakers

Poole will start Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Coming off of a strong preseason, Poole will get the nod at shooting guard as the Warriors start Stephen Curry, Poole, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney. The 2019 first-round pick started a handful of games last season -- seven, to be exact -- averaging 21.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.9 made threes (33.7 MPG) in those contests. If Poole fares well early on, he'll be in the driver's seat to hold onto the starting role until Klay Thompson is back up to full speed in December or January.
