Grading Warriors' Biggest Moves from 2023 NBA Offseason | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The Pick: Round 1, Pick 19

The Analysis: While the Warriors once built a championship powerhouse through the draft, they've had a much harder time handling the annual talent grab of late. This selection may not change that.

Theoretically, he's a fun fit on the offensive end. He can shoot off the catch or off the dribble, meaning he should be able to play with Golden State's stars or in relief of them. He should make quick decisions with the basketball, an absolute must to thrive in this system.

The defensive end is a big question mark, though, as Podziemski doesn't have great length or athleticism. Hiding a limited defender is sometimes possible, but where do you put him when any of Curry, Paul or a post-injury Klay Thompson is on the floor? Unless the Warriors simply plan on overwhelming the opposition with offense, they could have a hard time finding significant minutes for Podziemski.
