Brandin Podziemski, a 20-year-old rookie, performed admirably. He finished with 13 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists. The Warriors rookie dealt major damage to his opponents, scoring 8 points in 8 minutes.
The spotlight is narrowing in on him with each passing day, as the Warriors rookie appears destined for greatness.
Podziemski, 20, has played with NBA stalwarts including as Stephen Curry. He has a special bond with the 35-year-old Warrior. Of course, it is a friendship between someone who has made a name for himself in history and someone who is about to do so.
Curry discusses his friendship with Brandin Podziemski.
Podziemski had 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists in 39 minutes against Minnesota on November 14. Since then, Warriors have relied on him.
Stephen Curry is not only Podziemski’s basketball idol, but also a compassionate mentor. Podziemski, 20, shares a locker room with him and has the opportunity to learn from the veteran on his basketball path. Curry recently talked up about the 20-year-old’s curiosity. “He’s kind of the annoying little brother who asks questions all the time and is always talking,” Curry said of Podziemski.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, he also commended Brandin’s vitality, saying, “But I love that about him and tell him to tap into it more because his energy is infectious.” We know the concern is present, and I know he listens.”
Brandin has a great deal of admiration and affection for the Warriors’ star. He refers to him as the “best in the NBA.” Also, Curry is someone Brandin gets to witness exercises that people are willing to pay for.
While Curry and Podziemski have a good bromance in the Warriors locker room, Draymond Green is all praise for the youngster.
Draymond Green’s respect for Podziemski
Podziemski is surrounded by big brothers like he’s in the Golden State Warriors’ nursery of glory. Draymond refers to him as the game’s student, asking millions of questions.
Draymond Green praised Brandin’s performance in Thursday’s game while Chris Paul, Gary Payton, and Andrew Wiggins were all out. “Rookies don’t blow up plays,” he remarked. Rookies screw up plays. And he’s not.”
Golden State Warriors supporters have every reason to be optimistic about Podziemski’s future as he grows under the tutelage of great stars.
