It's only been a year and Brandin Podziemski is already Overrated

[cpower]

Yeah he was the worst player on the floor tonight - decision making is just so bad and no confidence on his shot at all

[jaymo123]

Podz is streaky with his shot, confused and lost other times. Unfortunately, who else they got on the Dubs? Moody and Kuminga ain't no option, Spencer rides the pine, and Dos Santos D hurts his chances of playing.

He was bad today, but let's not forget how big he was in Game 4. Guys like Podz and Buddy just aren't going to bring their A game every night... if they could, they'd be stars lol.

Pods shoots threes well enough that he is a floor spacer because he must be defended from the three-point line.
Podz is not overated. I haven’t seen any of us reading pods all that high, so he isn’t overrated

I dont think he is overrated he is just not good enough. He will be a good 2 guard playing along side with a big time scorer like Curry/Dame/Mitchell but he can't be your 2nd or 3rd option. How much money are you going to throw at him when you dont have a 1st/2nd/3rd option when Curry Jimmy retires? This team has a few 5-10 men rotational player but missing top dogs.

When Curry retires, we should trade everybody for draft picks and start over.

I feel like he defended well. Drew a big charge.

He's got ya'll fooled. He runs around looking like he's doing something but he gets beat by his man way too often.

[ILOVEIT]

Podz has to show the Warriors SOMETHING for Warriors to get a chance to win the series.

I've been on that train for a while but, to be fair to podz, he's been much better on ball in the 2nd half of the year than he was last year or earlier this season.

he was much better but the level of basketball was just not high..he played 1 good game out of 8 games..even for role player you would see better consistency.

It's amazing how player development hinges on the ability to shoot the 3. Sure podz can't finish inside, JK can't guard off ball, Moses can't attack off the dribble. While all of the above are true statements, the only thing preventing all 3 from being reliable starters is the ability to hit 3s at 38%. Would it be nice if they did everything else at a baseline level? Sure. They would all get 30+ mins if they could shoot 3s at a high clip. That's why Podz has played as much as he has from day 1: his ability to take a high volume of 3s and make just enough to keep Kerr's trust. 38.5% and 37.2% from 3 that last two season, identical to buddy hield. This is where numbers can be misleading. Is podz the worst 38% 3pt shooter I've ever seen? Maybe.

[cpower]

Podz is killing us offensively. 6 ppg on 34%TS in the series...wtf the guy is literally playing like the worst offensive guard in NBA history

[jozef]

He fights but iI would trade him for DVincenzo who is way better fit for Warriors system than for Wolves one.

[Coxy]

I feel like Podz has been through stretches this year where he finally found who he was in the NBA, and damn it looked good at times. However, as teams continue to figure his unorthidox ways out, he needs to continue to evolve to find himself further, but it looks like now he is stuck.

He has the tools to be out there and belong, but now his dribble moves, his decisions when getting open, in the lane, close to the basket, everywhere, he just doesn't know what to do next. He's a prisoner in his own basketball mind right now.

I was expecting his game to fall off in the postseason when teams actually game plan for him.

He has no right hand and they stopped falling for his deceleration game and pump fakes in the paint.

All true points BUT if he just shot the 3 like his %s indicate he could, it would all matter so much less.

Also, is it me or did he do the deceleration celebration one time and the decel hasn't worked for him since?
