Thompson went on to praise their young star, who he believes has saucier moves than Curry. "We don't do the same things," Thompson said of Poole. "But we play off each other so well now because we were staying off the ball with the rock on his hands. And I try and space around the perimeter. And he can pass, that's how good of a passer this man is, he puts it right in the pocket." "It reminds me of Steph so much, but even got a little more sauce on his moves. ... They're just different."
