Golden State Warriors’ rookie sensation, Brandin Podziemski, recently took to X to share an inspirational message, underscoring his incredible journey during his inaugural NBA season.
The 20-year-old guard, drafted as the No. 19 pick by the Warriors this summer, reflected on his transformation from being perceived as a potential bust to now earning a spot in the starting lineup for one of the league’s premier franchises.
Podziemski’s tweet encapsulated the remarkable progression in his career: “2 years ago at this time I had 17 DNP and only played garbage time, 1 year ago at this time I wasn’t on any draft boards, 5 months ago all I heard was that I was a bust. Started the year out of the rotation and now I’m starting for the best franchise in the NBA! #ificandoityoucan2.”
This season, the young guard has defied expectations, contributing significantly with an average of 8.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in just 22.3 minutes per game.
Podziemski’s journey serves as a testament to resilience and determination, inspiring aspiring players and fans alike with his meteoric rise in the competitive landscape of the NBA.
