once threatened to replace Thompson, and now shoots 19% three-point shooting, Kerr really spoils him

Although the overall strength of the Warriors' bench lineup is very strong this season, their bench lineup also ranks first in the league in overall scoring. But that's more due to the arrival of these new signings for the Warriors. The arrival of the Warriors' new signings has really given the Warriors' bench a noticeable boost in scoring. However, some players who played for the Warriors last season have seen a significant drop in scoring and shooting percentage this season.

Podzemski has seen a noticeable decline this season. His points per game average this season has dropped compared to last season, and his shooting percentage has dropped dramatically. He shot 45 percent from the field last season, 38 percent this season, and a 20 percentage point drop from three-point range, where he shot 39 percent from three-point range last season and 19 percent this season.

I remember that after the Warriors traded away Thompson in the offseason, Podzemski threatened to replace Thompson in the offseason, and he bluntly said that he would shoot 8~10 three-pointers in the new season. But at this stage of the season, not only did he not live up to what he said at the time, but his three-point shooting percentage was miserable. Not only did it not replace Thompson, but it has even become a hole outside the Warriors' three-point line.

And Cole is also very judgmental. This season Kerr has reduced Podzemski's playing time. Pojemski is no longer as trusted as he was last season, in fact, last season Podemski was somewhat inflated under Kerr's trust. You must know that Moody's performance last season was also very good, but as a rookie rookie, Podemski was fully trusted by Kerr last season, and his playing time was significantly higher than Moody's. Last season, opponents did not take him more seriously. So his overall efficiency was good, and he even ended up being selected for the Rookie of the Year team. And this season, after opponents have taken him seriously on the defensive end, he has struggled.

In the final analysis, because Podemsky does not have much means on the offensive end, and is limited by physical talent, Pojemski does not have the ability to push to the basket. This season, Podzemski has even significantly slowed down the Warriors' offensive tempo. Now his role with the Warriors is minimal. With Lee Kyle threading the needle in the bench lineup, Podzemski is now in a very awkward position.

So sometimes the importance of talent to a player is self-evident. The Warriors' system itself can make every player better, but if a player like Podzemski goes to another team, he may face more abandonment or even fade out of the league. I wonder what the fans think?
