Brandin Podziemski nails a one-handed full-court shot before Pelicans/Warriors 😲 📺 8:30pm/et on ABC
Three Golden State Warriors stars recalled how young Brandin Podziemski impressed them in the pre-season contest.
The 20-year-old is often regarded as one of the most highly-rated players currently playing in the competition. Despite being so young, he has already played 47 matches as a guard for the franchise.
The Athletic reporter Anthony Slater shared an interesting incident where he stated how the likes of Stephen Curry, Chris Paul and Moses Moody were left impressed with the performance of Podziemski in the pre-season contest.
“We were at UCLA, right?” Paul asked Moody. “When BP beat us in ones. ‘Yes’, Moody responded, grinning at the memory. The rookie was giving it to two of the greatest to ever do it at the point guard position and alerting anyone within earshot of the damage.
“He did the Tiger [Woods] fist-pump,” Paul said, shaking his head.“‘Let’s f—g go!'” Curry remembers him taunting. “That was hilarious.”
Podziemski is having a more than decent time for the Warriors in his first season where he is averaging 9.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.
The best outing for the Wisconsin-born this season came in the match against the Los Angeles Clippers where he ended up registering 25 points to go with seven rebounds and eight assists.
