He was a Warriors starter last season, but he was almost abandoned by Kerr this season, and he showed his original form under strict guarding

The performance of most of the players in the Warriors team at this stage is very good, of course, it is not excluded that there are a few players who have performed very badly and still have not found their form so far. For example, Podzemski is currently a very poor player on the Warriors' roster. This season, Podzemski has seen a drop in all his stats compared to last season.

This season, Podzemski's three-point shooting percentage has dropped to 19 percent, and his shooting percentage is just 38 percent. This shooting efficiency has made Kerr dare not use him too much this season, and the average playing time per game has also decreased significantly. You must know that Podemsky was a long-term and consistent starter for the team last season, and even Kerr will use Thompson as a substitute at some stage to let Podemski continue to start.

Why has Podzemski's performance dropped significantly this season compared to last season? It comes down to the fact that the opponent is serious about defending him. As a rookie last season, many people didn't pay attention to his defense. So he can go and score points in a position where he is comfortable. At the end of last season, he was named to the Rookie of the Year team, and he began to receive more attention from various teams. Therefore, in the defensive process this year, other teams have put more pressure on him, and they have a better understanding of his style of play and characteristics.

When opponents start to put more defensive pressure on him, Podzemski is limited by his size and lack of athleticism, and he struggles to find a good solution. And Podzemski himself is not a player who shoots accurately, so he will be struggling. And these new signings for the Warriors this season have come in a variety of styles. His role with the Warriors is also decreasing.

Melton, for example, has a very good defensive ability and offensive ability with the ball. Kyle Lee has excellent organizational skills. Hield has a very good projection. If Podzemski was a part of the bench last season, this season these new signings can completely replace him and do better than him.

His projection from last season is currently replaced by Hield, and his playmaking skills can be replaced by Kyle Lee. So at the moment, Podzemski's position in the team is very awkward, and there is no particularly outstanding ability to present. If his performance gets worse and worse, he may be put on the shelf by the Warriors in the future. And the Warriors may now regret not choosing to trade him in the offseason. After all, the Warriors could have traded him for Markkanen in the offseason.
