that is excellent

Podz played well in the Christmas Day game.

He had two bounce passes stolen though, rather easily.

He's going to have to adjust as teams scout him more.

Brandon's manager needs to cut a marketing promo with Apple for sure. That is crazy good.

Starters are not waking up for the start of games.

The starters seem a bit less sleepy when Podz is on the floor with them.

First time I've seen him dunk in the NBA.

He's slumping though from 3 the last few games.

[GSWFan1994]

Imagine what final form Podz could be.

He remembers me of Ginobili.

Still not sure exactly what we have in Podz. Much better than I originally thought. Lots of energy on D, and rebounds really well for a guard. Still, inconsistent with his shot. If he can continue to improve his game over the next couple of years, he could be excellent. Already looks like a steal at 19.

I was just asking myself what Podz can turn into and what his game can become. Still not sure of a similar player though. He will continue to be a big rebounder. He has shown his step back 3. It's fairly slow, but that's a good shot if he can continue to nail it. Podz is a winning player for sure. Hope he stays a Warrior for a long time.

Who decided to draft Podz and Trayce? Our rookies are making the guys that scouted them and drafted them look good.

That side step 3 he hasn’t really taken all year and then made 2 of them in the bucks game. He’s not really a movement shooter but if he can make off the dribble side step 3s that would be huge. He shot more of them in college. Really created more of his 3s off the dribble than catch and shoot.

Is Herro a bad comp? They're even from the same neighbourhood IIRC

Herro is more offensive oriented and has a midrange game. Bp has no pull up or middie. More defensive and rebounding and makes more of an impact than herro. I really think he’ll be similar to Derrick white. If he can be more of an off the dribble threat like with his side steps 3 that can take him to another level. White is probably more impactful than a lot of “stars”.

[KevinMcreynolds]

Herro more ball dominant too, Podz a team player that keeps the ball moving

[wco81]

Pods tried to take a small guard into the paint and Euro step to score over him.

Shot missed but he rebounded and fed Wiggins for a good outback.

I'd much rather have Podz but Jerome could finish consistently in the restricted area over small guards and gave them the too small gesture.


Podz could be a glue player like Kyle Anderson but he'd be much more effective in that role if he was also 6-7 or so, about 20-30 pounds heavier.

[Crazy-Canuck]

He's crashing head first into that rookie wall.

Lets not forget that its normal for average athleticism guards to struggle in the paint early on (and from deep to be honest). If anything, Podz is well ahead of schedule when it comes to his efficiency.. and thats while having at least a couple plays a game where its clear he will need to develop or try a new type of shot inside.

During the draft process I had said he reminded me of Dellavedova with the ability to finish inside like a D-Lo or Donte or Jerome. But even those three guys had some issues early on until they altered their floaters and shot selection to be passable finishing at the rim. So far, Podz is basically right with them, but mostly because his shot selection is very selective inside. Its clear his floaters haven't quite translated to the pros, but his touch is apparent and very reminiscent of Jerome.

I expected 40/35/70 at best as a rookie, and Podz has easily cleared that (outside of free throws). He may keep trending more towards those numbers, but either way I think we have seen enough to believe he can be an efficient player that hovers around 47/40/80... which would be amazing.

I think it's funny that he goes up to take tech fts when he's shooting 60% from the ft line

The kid has the rare combination of confidence/arrogance while also not being a ball hog or ball stopper. Usually that much irrational confidence leads to bad shot selection.

It is odd because I wish he would shoot more 3s. But he really doesn't shoot catch and shoot 3s all that well. He'll definitely be a winning impact player though.
