With Klay Thompson now gone, many expect the Golden State Warriors are going to go through some growing pains. Even with Steph Curry still on the roster. However, Podziemski responded to the doubters in an interview he did at a San Francisco Giants game recently. An interview he did with NBC Sports Bay Area\u2019s own, Laura Britt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe don\u2019t love to hear that, but we love to hear that in the fact that we\u2019re going to do something that no one expects us to do,\u201d Podziemski told Britt on Friday at Oracle Park after he took batting practice before the Giants game. \u201cThey don\u2019t think that we\u2019re the Warriors that we were before, and for us, I think it\u2019s just the best feeling when you don\u2019t have anything to lose out there, and you just go out and prove people wrong.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many expect Podziemski to potentially be inserted into the starting lineup after Klay Thompson left for the Dallas Mavericks this offseason. While the Golden State Warriors do have an uphill battle ahead in terms of returning to contention status, Brandin Podziemski is a young player of theirs that has a bright future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Brandin Podziemski Looking Forward to Season<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Can Brandin Podziemski Become the Next Best Young Talent in the League?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsdaily.com\/news\/warriors-have-no-plans-to-trade-brandin-podziemski\/\">Podziemski<\/a> is coming off a solid rookie year. He was selected to the All-Rookie Team and developed into a solid point-of-attack defender. His continued growth will be heavily instrumental in the Warriors\u2019 quest to return to the playoffs. Podziemski\u2019s rookie campaign will serve as something to build on. Last year, he tallied 9.2 points, 5.8 total rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. He also averaged a field goal percentage of 45.4 percent and showed spurts of sharpshooting greatness with a three-point shooting percentage of 38.5 percent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not to mention, Podziemski showed no fear on the defensive end of the floor. Often times, he was tasked with guarding the opposition\u2019s biggest perimeter threat. Some notable players he held to less than 10 points when matched up with include C.J. McCollum, Mike Conley, Austin Reaves, Dejounte Murray, and Mikal Bridges. While the Golden State Warriors do not have great odds going into next season, they have to be excited about the future of Brandin Podziemski. He may not be the solution to all their problems, but he could serve as a building block for a potential youth movement going forward. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandin Podziemski is expected to have an expanded role in his second year in the NBA.
