Warriors expect expanded role for Brandin Podziemski in upcoming season
Summary

Brandin Podziemski enters his fourth NBA season with the Golden State Warriors facing a pivotal point in his career. With the team navigating a quiet offseason and managing the status of Jimmy Butler, projections indicate the 23-year-old guard could see an increased role. Joey Akeley of Warriors On SI suggests that an injury to Moses Moody may lead to Podziemski serving as the team's primary secondary three-point threat. Following an 82-game campaign last season, the guard holds a career average of 11.6 points per game and a 37.5% three-point shooting percentage. As he approaches restricted free agency in the 2027 offseason, his performance regarding consistent perimeter scoring and shot volume will influence his future contract standing with the franchise. Podziemski previously averaged 13.8 points while playing 28.5 minutes per contest during his last season.
