[@raymondchandler697]

It’s been reported that he has a 39” vertical but it looks more like 18”

[@dmichael100]

I seriously doubt that report. Podz has always stood out to me as an old school- stuck on the floor player. The reason he can't get separation for his shots and he is not finishing at the rim is that he is so unathletic and can't jump over anybody nor does he have the flexibility to finish under/around most defenders. I thought he got too much credit last season. He was able to get off some cute post-up moves with creative footwork (which he HAD to because he can't jump) but the defenders have caught on this year. Kevin McHale could make a career off those great post-up moves with great footwork because he was 6'11 with a 7'4" reach. Podz is just the opposite. The one thing Podz can do really well is rebound for his size and the truth of the modern game is that more and more rebounds are uncontested. In other words, a lot of rebounds that Podz ends up with, 2 or 3 other Warriors could have grabbed because no one on the offensive team hung around to try and get the offensive board. Rebounding used to be a more indicative stat because most rebounds were contested with 2 or 3 big guys on both teams under the basket trying to get possession. Now, those bigs are behind the three-point line, that's why Podz can just sneak and grab the uncontested carrom. If they could get an athletic wing or anyone who could fit in and add to the team, they should trade him.

[@carbonsteelmaniac652]

Giving him more minutes than Moody is such an insult to Moody. I agree with your take. I’ve seen Podz miss a bunch of free throws and critical threes. Let’s not forget Kerr has two things going against him…1. He doesn’t develop players. 2. He has an obsession with guards. Kerr played Anthony Lamb and Ty Jerome with ALOT of minutes and they are no longer on the team. “The MJ or Chioza’s” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@randygraham926]

Ty Jerome is playing great for the Cavs by the way .... Moody is not that good and he's not a playmaker. He's a decent 2-guard ... and those are a dime a dozen in the NBA. Warriors drafted Moody instead of Sengun ... how is that working out? 😅

[@alasdairmacdonald9838]

I don't care that he's in a slump I care that the team and Kerr in particular are so bereft of shot creation that even his current god awful shooting has to be overlooked by them. Even more frightening for the Warriors though is Steph finally starting to look real old. He's lost a step, doesn't get the same separation and often just looks disengaged. Frankly the team would have been stupid to cash in all their future assets to try and eek another ring out of this core. They are cooked in terms of championship contention. The best they can do at the deadline or before then is trade Melton's corpse for a replacement. They need a playable starting guard at the 2 next to Steph and a healthy Wiggins. Finally they should just bite the bullet and move Donk tot he bench permanently to give JK the runway he needs and then they know if he's worth paying.

[@xfanatick7972]

Steph looks bad because there’s no real consistent spacing now. Hield is good but inconsistent. Klay wasn’t at his best but his reputation and outbreaks still helped curry last season. Klay was able to take some weight of off curry in specific games. Now it’s 100% curry only.

Brandin was a decent draft pick at #19. He may still turn it around despite the awful sophomore season because he's a smart player and he hustles, but his ceiling is not all that high. Perhaps an excellent backup or good role player if he starts. All-Star was absurd. Teams and their fans overhype their young players -- and Golden State is one of the worst. I still remember when Patrick Baldwin was the steal of the draft ... and now he plays for the Wizards in the G-League. 😂 Remember when Wiseman was a combination of Bill Russell and Hakeem? Yeah. The Warriors real problem is they have been TERRIBLE at drafting players. Klay and Steph were drafted by a guy named Larry Riley and that happened so long ago that 95% of Warrior's fans don't even know who he is. As I remind Warriors fans they had the chance to draft Sengun with their 14th pick but took another mediocre backup guard, Moses Moody instead. And their problems with undersized, offensively challenged centers continues.

[@Qjags2]

They did not draft Sangun, if you remember Bob Myers said publicly. It didn't matter if he bring in a 7 foot or 8 foot player if the coaching staff don't play them. What good is it?🤔

[@doobeedoo2]

A turnaround will happen. He hasn't been the same since getting his nose broken. Look at Jordan Poole this season versus last. Brandin's shot issues are mechanical in nature. Fixable. But he'll never be taller or faster or a leaper.

He's the only reason the Lakers have a future currently to begin with. Also, Max McClung is tiny. I don't care how high he can jump and how he beats people in the G-League, his chances in the NBA are small.

And thinking that the warriors losing is a simple matter of minutes and substitutions just exposes you for how low iq and frankly, stupid you are when it comes to basketball.

It is hard to say why Podz has digressed. It seems like a lot of rookies that do well in their initial season, only to drop off in their sophomore season. Maybe they got too full of themselves with all the hype, and didn't work much on their game/skills during the off season. That seems to be the problem with a lot of rookies that did well in their rookie seasons, and thus, the reason for their "sophomore slump". I wouldn't give up on him, yet. He may just need this season to get his head on right, and work harder to improve his skills (and stamina). But it looks doubtful if that is going to happen this season. Too bad, and too bad for the Dubs.
