“I definitely saw flashes of it”: Kevon Looney reveals how Trayce Jackson-Davis, Brandin Podziemski impressed during pre-season with Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors veteran forward Kevon Looney has stated that the potential impact of the young duo of Trayce Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski was evident even before the start of the campaign.

Both youngsters have been heavily involved in the proceedings this season and they remain a few of the bright stars when hardly anything went right for the Warriors.

Looney was recently quoted in a report where he stated how he could see what the two were capable of before the start of the season when both players were part of a third team and yet they were winning games.

“I definitely saw flashes of it in the summertime and our summertime workouts and in training camp,” he said. “Training camp day was really good. They were on the third team, and they were winning games.

“That’s tough in this league to do that playing against the guys that we had. So we knew they had great potential, but we didn’t know how fast they were going to learn to pick up everything, they picked it up pretty fast and game tapes for our team.”

Jackson-Davis has played 57 games this season for the Warriors where he has contributed 7.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Podziemski on the other hand contributed 9.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
