Mike Poole

Scouting Reports:
July 2009 - Poole struggled throughout much of the contest NBE watched him in, getting to the basket on several occasions but failing to finish. He beat his defender and got open shots, he just couldn’t knock them down. As usual, Poole showed off very solid versatility and all-around game, but nothing in particular stood out (Jeff Borzello at Hoop Group Elite Camp).
July 2008 - Poole is a very good all-around performer who can do nearly everything on the court – but he was disappointing overall this week. The 6-foot-6 forward is a tremendous passer with outstanding vision, especially for someone his size. He finds open teammates with consistency, although he makes mistakes when trying to go for the spectacular pass at times. He can handle the ball and run the fast-break, either finishing at the rim or dishing to a teammate. Offensively, he is not very explosive and does not go up strong when he is in the lane. He is not aggressive with the ball, either. On more than one occasion, too, he failed to hustle back defensively (Jeff Borzello at RBK AA Camp).
