15%. Even though he scored less than during his best years, Klay Thompson still accounted for 15% of the Warriors' points last year, with around 18 points per game. His departure will redistribute the cards and Brandin Podziemski is one of those, like Jonathan Kuminga, who could benefit the most.
” We are happy about this opportunity that we will all have. This will be the second season that we play together for most of us. “, recalls the 19th choice of the 2023 Draftvoted in the best five rookies last year.
” Add De'Anthony (Melton), Kyle (Anderson) and Buddy (Hield) in addition to our Draft choices, it promises to be fun “, projects the rear, among the best rebounders of this Summer League (18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists in two games).
New blood for a team whose last season ended in a damp squib, with an elimination in the first round of the play-in against the Kings. Champions two years ago, the Warriors hope to raise their heads.
Veterans seek to reinvent themselves
” Each of us took it personally at the end of last year, not accomplishing what we wanted to. The player development internally has been of a very high standard for all of us. Our young guys and even our veterans like Gary (Payton) and Loon (Kevon Looney), They are trying to change their game a little bit. “, notes Brandin Podziemski, who is looking forward to meeting this group again.
And who is also eager to face his former teammate, who became a mentor last year, Klay Thompson. A few days ago, the latter also made a phone call to his former rookie. He told me I'll always be a brother for life, that's really cool. »
A brother from whom he learned a lot through his leadership. It's something you can't just Google or YouTube when you're getting advice from someone like him. So I appreciated him being there, everything he shared with me about what's going on on and off the field. ” he concludes.
