Rookie Warriors Duo Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis Eye All-Rookie Honors and Beyond

Golden State Warriors rookie Brandin Podziemski is making waves in his first NBA season, exceeding all expectations and proving himself as a key contributor to the team’s success. Despite being the No. 19 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Podziemski has quickly established himself as the starting shooting guard for the Warriors, while fellow rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis has become the team’s starting center.

Podziemski believes that he and Jackson-Davis deserve recognition on the All-Rookie team, a feat that hasn’t been achieved by a Warriors player in 43 years. His impressive stats, including ranking in the top ten among rookies in various categories, make a strong case for his inclusion on the team.

Not only has Podziemski made a significant impact on the court, but he has also garnered praise for his defensive skills and overall contribution to the team. His performance has been compared to that of Draymond Green, with one NBA source calling him the best help defender since Green.

Looking ahead to next season, Podziemski has his sights set on winning the Most Improved Player award and participating in the NBA All-Star weekend at Chase Center. With his determination and skill set, Podziemski is poised to continue making a name for himself in the NBA.

Stay tuned in May to see if Podziemski’s All-Rookie hopes come to fruition, and follow his journey as he aims for even greater success in the seasons to come.
