Brandin Podziemski, a rookie for the Golden State Warriors, expressed his disappointment with the prospect of participating in the play-in tournament again.
Reflecting on the end of his rookie season, Podziemski highlighted his dislike for the play-in format in interviews.
“I don’t want to be in the play-in anymore. I had my little taste of it and it was terrible,” Podziemski said, echoing his frustration, as reported by Dalton Johnson.
Looking ahead to his second season, Podziemski expects to take on a larger role within the team.
“Naturally my role will increase. I think the ball will be in my hands a little bit more. Just being more efficient, trying to take the burden off Steph and Draymond’s shoulders,” he added, according to Anthony Slater.
Podziemski showed promise throughout his first season, averaging 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 26.6 minutes per game, starting in 28 games.
