6-of-11 from three-point range, Curry nodded silently off the court, and the Warriors finally found Curry's successor

If Butler and Curry are two of the two who must play in this series between the Rockets and the Warriors, then Podzemski's performance in this round can be described as a surprise. When we look at the Warriors' scoring charts in the playoffs this season, you'll see that Podzemski's points per game average has moved to third place, behind Curry and Butler. He averaged 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the playoffs. In the last crucial game, he scored 26 points on 6-of-11 shooting from beyond the three-point line.

It can be said that without his six three-pointers in the last game, it may be difficult for the Warriors to beat the Rockets. When Podemski made three-pointers again and again on the court, we saw Curry nodding silently off the court, and he seemed to recognize the young man in front of him. Podemski is a sophomore rookie, but his current playing IQ on the court is clearly like that of a veteran who has been playing for more than a decade. So this type of player is very suitable for development as a leader.

Why is Poole not suitable for training as a leader? Because Poole's style of play on the court is too offensive and ignores the team. Podzemski is a player who can be further developed on the passing end. In the future, when Curry retires, the Warriors will let him play the starting point guard, and he has the ability to revitalize the team. The Warriors may not be able to play the so-called pass-and-cut system in the future, because Curry has retired, but they can play the same way most teams in the league play, with a good point guard to take charge of the overall situation, so that the Warriors can play some regular play. Podemsky is up to the task.

Before Curry retires, what Podemski needs to do is learn more skills from Curry, especially outside shooting. When Podzemski's outside shooting becomes very consistent and can still be very consistent in the face of high-pressure defense, that's when Podzemski can step up. So now it's almost certain that the Warriors have found Curry's replacement, and Podzemski is clearly the most suitable of the Warriors' current youngsters.
