Brandin Podziemski finished Friday’s 103-96 loss to the Lakers with nine points (3-of-10 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.
Podziemski couldn’t get many shots to fall on Friday, but he made up for that by contributing in other areas. His 11 rebounds were tied for most on the team with Reggie Perry (11 points, 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block), and they were also the only two Warriors to record full stat lines. The poor shooting and turnover count (five) wasn’t great, but Podziemski was better in his second California Classic game than his first. It would not be surprising if that proved to be the case in Las Vegas as well.
