Brandin Podziemski was slapped with the title of "next young Warriors star" pretty early on in his rookie season. After an up-and-down sophomore season, now plenty of Warriors fans don't foresee him in the Dubs future plans at all. But maybe, bear with me, the third-year man from Santa Clara isn't the franchise savior or an irredeemably woeful basketball player. Perhaps he's something in between!
I know that we, as sports fans, often view things in extremes. It's hard not to go into histrionics when a rookie plays as well as Podziemski did, and it's hard not to be disappointed when he follows it up with a somewhat disappointing campaign.
