Brandin Podziemski’s time is now — and the Golden State Warriors need him to step up big in 2026-27. With key players sidelined, he’s got a golden opportunity to prove himself as a cornerstone of their future. His track record shows explosive growth after the All-Star break — last season he jumped from 12 to 17.5 points per game, and his shooting efficiency soared too, especially from three. If he can start strong and hit free throws consistently (aiming for the 80% mark), he could be the difference-maker in tight games. Already a vital defender and shooter when the team wins, Podziemski’s fourth year carries extra weight — he’s a restricted free agent and ready to carry the torch after Curry. A breakout season isn’t just possible — it’s expected.
