This is what is called a beautiful evening for Brandin Podziemski. In parallel with its most complete match of the season, signed against the Pelicans, the Warriors announced having activated the third year of his contract.
The Californian back will receive a little less than $3.7 million next season. Nothing surprising for the 19th choice of the 2023 Draft who quickly established himself as an important player in Steve Kerr's rotation.
His averages of 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 26 minutes played last year earned him a place in the league's top five rookies. Even more anticipated this season, with the departure of Klay Thompson, he is well on his way to increasing his statistical production.
But he is suffering in terms of skill so far: 10 points on average at only 37% on shots, including 21% on 3-pointers. Starting again last night in the absence of Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski however came closer to his first career triple-double with 13 points (5/15 shooting), 9 rebounds and 8 assists.
