Podz is showing signs of being the next Larry Bird, without the mouth and the ego. His Bball IQ, court awareness, completeness of his game on both ends of the court and uncanny ability to be in the right place and the right time is astounding for a kid his age... or for anyone at any age for that matter! His presence and skill set on the court is not as obviouis as was Bird's, nor is he as flamboyant or charismatic, but this kid not only gets the job done every night, but he exceeds expectations and makes a serious contribution to every win he participates in. Goodbye, Dray, Hello Podz.
@@Swish2430 As i look more at him… he has this one peculiar left handed shot where he looks like he is bringing the ball up for a jumper…. But the ball just keeps going up and transitions into a shot that looks like an underhanded hook shot mixed with a scoop shot. This catches defenders off guard because they are getting ready to contest the expected jumper
ROOKIE BRANDIN PODZIEMSKI is an IMPACTFUL PLAYER for the DUBS. He lifts the DUBS with his ENERGY, HUSTLES, FASCILITATES, DEFENDS, REBOUNDS, SCORES, and plays like a SEASONED VET with DECENT BASKETBALL IQ. He's an EXCELLENT ACQUISITION by the DUBS.
I think he is different than Poole and he won’t stop grinding. From his postgame interviews he’s got a great mindset and is more dedicated than Poole I think
I so liked him in pre season was hoping we kept him. Beginning of season im like play him play him! They wasn't. Now he the man! 😊 so glad he doing what i thought he could i saw it! When GP2 comes back we good. And Seric 🙌🏾 samething. And Moody is so good. I love their bench.
Kuminga should look to Podziemski for mentorship. Kuminga would be the best player in the NBA if he could learn Pods unique "mental skill set" of moving to the "right location" by seeing the floor and anticipating the flow of the game.
right now yes he is basically a clone of DiVincenzo but honestly sky is the limit for podz if he still healthy compared to divi 1 he is only 20 and still on his 1st year as a rookie 2 his basketball iq is kind of better even tho divi iq pretty high as well 3 his instinct and intuition is on another level only issue is he is not that athletic and kind of inconsistent offensively which should not matter right now anyways knowing the warriors
Podz is resurrecting Klay's career by passing the ball to Klay when he's wide open. Podz has been drawing attention from defenders and that leads to improved spacing. With Draymond at PG, defenders prefer to double-team Curry and Klay and not even guard Draymond because they know he wants to pass the ball.
Trade Draymond Moody 1st for Stewart From Detroit and Bojan Starting 5 Curry Klay Wiggins Stewart Looney CP Brandin Kuminga Bojan Dario Lester GP Usman Draymond goes home.
This is the first rookie I've seen fresh out the gate ready to contribute in a long time. He's a keeper. After Poole tho, I'm hesitant to pump up a player because I don't want it going to their head. He's already a better defender than Poole. I'm curious to see what his ceiling can be playing for the Dubs. I think it's a possibility of being as high as an athletic version of a Jason Kidd but I don't like to put labels on young players.
I was thinking the same thing about Poole but from Brandon’s postgame interviews he doesn’t seem the same as Poole something he said really stuck with me he said “whether I’m in the rotation or not you gonna get the same me” that’s a very mature mindset
I was hoping that we would get a reasonable replacement for Donte DiVincenzo. Someone who is an underrated left-handed hustler-shooter, with excellent defensive awareness. Yet we actually got an upgraded version ...AND... he’s a rookie. That means his ceiling is presently unknown (limit untapped). Plus, the young dude is MATURE and brings an already stratospheric basketball IQ. Honestly, our acquisition of Podz and Trayce Jackson-Davis will become the miracle rookie leader/shooter 2-way [layers we thought Wiseman and Poole were expected to become. The future is looking VERY bringht!!
Goes to show you how Steve Kerr's program is about the38%-40% pg n sg shooter....he just has to find a 40% shooting cuz handles can be taught n improved but a natural shooter like step, .....well you seen the results these past years
At :44 of the video you can see the defender holding him with both hands, a foul that would be called 100% of the time against any Warrior. That would be a better discussion in my opinion. I get it that being critical of the NBA would cut you off from these fine action clips.
Taking charges don't impress.. Hitting 6-8 on jumper twos when the team needs to keep the score close will. We wanted CP3 to keep the score close when Curry rests. But that's a no go..
@@fredmertz1791 yeah but to say that taking charges doesn’t impress is just wrong a charge in the paint is the warriors best interior defense given they have no shot blocker
@@fredmertz1791 nah hitting the floor doesn’t hurt that much if you know how to fall the only time it hurts is when you trying to dunk and fall from that Podz taking the charge is less at risk of injury than the person running him over
I do see people make the comparison to donte but podz is better then donte like hes already better then him. I also made the comparison to gary payton 2 and ty jerome. Defensive instincts and hustle with passing moxie. What sets him apart from those 2 is his level of offensive play. Whats going to set him apart ultimately is whatever hes learning from chris paul. Because the way hes playing he arguably should be the backup pg but here is already starting and doing all the little things that lead to winning. Id be happy if he became some mixture of cp3 and nash on offense but cp3 intangibles defensively at his peak.
I love Podziemski and his game and the Warriors have been my team since I was a kid, but.... I do not respect his flopping. It makes him look bad and shows he has no honor. A true warrior has honor and when I see him act like he got hit in the face and fall on the ground, it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth and he should be fined. I hated Kerr as a player growing up because he flopped all the time, same with Jeff Hornacek. I think if a player acts like he got hit in the face and the replay shows he did not, he should be fined a significant amount. It is cheating.
Over hyped. You gonna purposely leave out how many turnovers he averages given how many minutes he plays? You crowning him for his one good game against a trash team like the Trail Blazers which y'all almost lost. he's not a better defender than GP2. Let's see how he does against a team like the Nuggets today.
He’s a rookie it’s expected to make turnovers 😂 what are you talking about? 😂 and he’s had multiple good games what are you talking about “one good game”????? 😂 do you even watch basketball? I’m guessing you don’t since you said he’s had “one good game” 😂😂😂
13 points 9 boards 6 assists 5 steals 57 75 100 splits only 2 turnovers and solid defense throughout that is great rookie basketball and if you don’t think so then you are just wrong
Can we just let guys be who they are without giving them a false expectation that has ruined potential above average players . You build him up like this, it gets in his head, then when not playing to the expected standard of what we thought he can be, he believes he's a failure, when in reality, he's Good, just leave it at that, and see what happens, We are always trying to find the "next big star" . Other teams don't have footage on him yet, he's coming out of nowhere, Curry is making him better like he does everyone else around him, let's not make another Poole situation here, come on
I see what you’re saying but expectations is what motivates great players to be better. Whether that be high or low great players will work hard to surpass them.
This draft class is just different. From Wembanyama and Miller to Podziemski and Jaquez
Fr the young talent is showing major promise
Kirk Hinrich left handed with the rebounding of a young Rondo with a mix of himself
Yeah all the players are future stars
Kid brings so much energy. Kuminga needs to take note. How can this little guy be out rebounding you?
Nah fr I see Podz out there fighting with the centers every possession and sometimes he gets the boards over them somehow
Agree. I think what we see in Kuminga this season is because of this.
Podz is showing signs of being the next Larry Bird, without the mouth and the ego.

Agree 100%
Thx for highlighting him…. It is easy to become captivated by more spectacular players

What makes him different? He plays with his head and heart!
Who else is loving Air Podz
As warriors fans, this is officially now his nickname
@@A08J lol sounds good to me
Kid’s got heart. If the warriors let him go, im done with them.

Yup exactly he doesn’t just impact the game in one way but MULTIPLE ways that’s what makes him so great
Yup exactly he doesn’t just impact the game in one way but MULTIPLE ways that’s what makes him so great
Thanks Podz
The stats are impressive. His style of play could possibly change the way basketball is played. Keep doiing what you are doing Podz.
For a rookie in limited minutes and has to share the ball with Steph and Klay he definitely has impressive stats
Definitely a future star in the making, I hope the warriors invest in him.
Same bro same
@@Swish2430Podz got 19 mill from the draft
I think so too
He is the very best Warriors draft pick since Draymond.
Draymond was not this good as a rookie
He’s the best draft pick since Steph.
I love watching this dude too! The rookies are better then the so called core at the moment 😫
Nah fr idk how that’s even possible
Doesn't seem like he forget about it, but hope the dude doesn't stop grinding. He'll always need to play hard to be successful in the NBA.
I think he is different than Poole and he won’t stop grinding. From his postgame interviews he’s got a great mindset and is more dedicated than Poole I think
Put this dude on the floor with GPII at the same time... get the popcorn and enjoy the show.
Lol two perimeter defensive pests at the same time 😂
Wow he is that good
If you don't have big athletics, then you compensate by having big brain.
Yup exactly and that’s what Podz does. He knows he doesn’t have crazy athleticism so that’s why he takes so many charges instead
That's why he went to Santa Clara University. Such a smart player
I so liked him in pre season was hoping we kept him. Beginning of season im like play him play him! They wasn't. Now he the man! 😊 so glad he doing what i thought he could i saw it! When GP2 comes back we good. And Seric 🙌🏾 samething. And Moody is so good. I love their bench.
Yeah the bench is strong this season
Excellent pick in the last draft.Could use more playing time on the court!!!!!!!!!!.
He is starting to get more playing time right now so his future is definitely bright
Kuminga should look to Podziemski for mentorship. Kuminga would be the best player in the NBA if he could learn Pods unique "mental skill set" of moving to the "right location" by seeing the floor and anticipating the flow of the game.
Kuminga would definitely benefit a lot but I don’t know about best player in the NBA
DiVinziemski
I was just thinking that watching the video. Shades of Dante DiVincenzo.
right now yes he is basically a clone of DiVincenzo but honestly sky is the limit for podz if he still healthy compared to divi
1 he is only 20 and still on his 1st year as a rookie
2 his basketball iq is kind of better even tho divi iq pretty high as well
3 his instinct and intuition is on another level
only issue is he is not that athletic and kind of inconsistent offensively which should not matter right now anyways knowing the warriors
I totally agree bro his upside is way more promising
Yeah he definitely is showing signs of it right now but he has more potential
Lol he definitely is similar to Dante as of right now
He needs to teach his teammates how to draw charges. They have too much pride on defense and unaware of the game changed.
Fr imagine the whole team drawing charges lol
Podz is resurrecting Klay's career by passing the ball to Klay when he's wide open. Podz has been drawing attention from defenders and that leads to improved spacing.
With Draymond at PG, defenders prefer to double-team Curry and Klay and not even guard Draymond because they know he wants to pass the ball.
Yeah he’s really helping by being another playmaker on the court
Trade Draymond Moody 1st for Stewart From Detroit and Bojan
Starting 5
Curry Klay Wiggins Stewart Looney
CP Brandin Kuminga Bojan Dario
Lester GP Usman
Draymond goes home.
@@Holdemnicely6969 I’m fine with Draymond and the picks but not moody
he reminds me austin reeves, or even Donte DiVincenzo... hope he will keep playing solid games to get wins
Yeah I can definitely see that he is showing similar shades
He reminds me of Jokic and John Stockton and Vladimir Putin and hitler and John Denver
What a game. Stef played th whole 4th carrying five fouls..bravo to the team
Yeah the game was amazing currys showed out fr

Imma be honest I never watched jerry west so idk if that’s accurate or not
Wow that’s crazy
PODZ is the Steve Nash 2.0… Santa Clara grad 💪😄👍
Yup Santa Clara stand up fr
SANTA CLARA ❤
Pods what else is there to say 🙌🏻
Nothing more to say he’s just great
Brandon so much fun to Watch! Plays like Payton 2

Haven't heard this one for all of 10 minutes. They have had like 6 new golden boys in the past 4 years and they have all been luke warm
6 in the past 4 years????? The only other golden boy was Poole in the last 4 years but I guess that’s 6

Well in the blazers game Podz scored 5 straight points when the game was getting close while curry was out
@Swish2430 that's all we need.
We don't need Klay 1-9 from three. The mid range shot consistently made will let curry finish in style.
