San Francisco: So, the Warriors are trying to mix their young guns with the legendary Steph Curry. They’ve got Brandin Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and Trayce Jackson-Davis all learning the ropes. But it’s been a bit of a struggle this season.
After a recent win against the Timberwolves, Coach Kerr pointed out that these young players are still figuring out how to play alongside Curry. He really wants them to understand the importance of ball movement.
When Podziemski heard Kerr’s comments, he gave a pretty strange answer. He said, “I don’t really think. I just play.” It’s like he’s saying he’s just out there doing his thing without overthinking it. He knows to pass to Curry when he’s open, but he doesn’t seem to be taking Kerr’s advice too seriously.
Kerr was pretty clear about what he wants from the team. He emphasized that they need to pass the ball and not take bad shots. He’s been stressing this point during timeouts, hoping the young players will catch on.
Podziemski, who was an All-Rookie First-Team pick last season, has had a rough start this year. But he did manage to score 12 points in a recent game, so maybe he’s starting to find his groove.
It’s hard to tell if Podziemski just didn’t get the question or if he’s tuning out the coaches. If it’s the latter, the Warriors might need to have a serious chat with him.
