Podziemski scored 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding four rebounds, three steals and two assists in 21 minutes off the bench during Friday's 132-74 preseason rout of the Lakers.
ANALYSISWhile
De'Anthony Melton got the start at shooting guard for the Warriors, Podziemski saw just as many minutes and was more productive. The second-year player missed Tuesday's game due to a broken nose, but he wore a mask Friday and didn't seem to have any issues. Podziemski will be counted on this season to replace some of the offense lost when
Klay Thompson left for Dallas, but it's still not clear if he'll get a chance to start in the backcourt alongside
Stephen Curry.
