If many people had doubts about Podzemski's future replacement of Curry as the team's starting point guard, now according to the report of Shams, a well-known journalist in the front, this doubt has become a reality. Shams admits that the Warriors have high hopes for the youngster, who they will see as Curry's successor to point guard. At the moment, the Warriors are reluctant to put Podemski in any trade, so the Warriors are willing to give up Markkanen.
So what we can expect is that Podzemski's status with the Warriors has improved significantly, with such a youngster named to the All-Rookie Team in his first rookie season last season, and he has shown a level of self-confidence that many young players don't have. Warriors management seems to see all the possibilities in him. It seems to think that he will become an All-Star in the future.
Some time ago, the owner of the Warriors also praised Podemski very heavily in an interview, and seemed very optimistic about him. Many fans carefully analyzed why the Warriors were willing to believe in Podzemski. The most important reason for this is that the Warriors want to find a suitable player to succeed Curry, and they also want to kickstart their star-making program.
Warriors management knew very well that Curry wouldn't be able to play for a few years, and they had to quickly find a starting point guard to replace him, and that successor had the talent to lead the Warriors in the future. Through the performance of Podemsky last season, the management was inspired. It is believed that Podemsky has the ability to take on big responsibilities after several seasons of training, and he sees some leadership qualities in Podemsky. These temperaments are helpful to attract a lot of fans. Imagine if Podemski became an All-Star in the future, and his temperament could indeed have a chance to replicate some of Curry's effects. Maybe this effect is only 1/5, but for the Warriors, it is also a continuation of their commercial effect.
So many fans are very much looking forward to what kind of improvement Pojemski will have next season. What we can expect is that Podzemski is likely to be a starter in the new season, and with Thompson's departure, he will be given more and more opportunities. His shots per game, his possession, and so on will improve significantly. At least for now, he has a versatility that Poole didn't have before. He's also significantly more balanced on both ends of the floor than Poole. Let's hope he succeeds Curry in the future. Let's hope he can become an All-Star in the future.
