Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about Jordan Poole's recent struggles and whether he needs to be more consistent.

Kerr said that Poole needs to be more consistent and that there are only so many opportunities he can give him.

"He's a young player and he's still learning," Kerr said. "But he's got to be more consistent. We need him to be a guy that we can count on every night."

Poole has been inconsistent this season, averaging 18.5 points per game on 43.2% shooting.

He's also had some big games, including a 30-point performance against the Los Angeles Lakers in December.

But he's also had some clunkers, including a 2-for-11 shooting night against the Sacramento Kings in January.

Kerr said that Poole needs to find a way to be more consistent.

"He's got to be able to make shots," Kerr said. "He's got to be able to make plays for others.

"He's got to be able to defend.

"He's got to be able to do all the things that we need him to do."

Kerr said that he's not giving up on Poole, but he needs to see more consistency from him.

"He's a talented player," Kerr said. "But he's got to be more consistent.

"There's only so many opportunities I can give him."
