Overview
- After practice, Green said he believes Brandin Podziemski can "take the torch and run with it" but warned him to "be careful" about declaring it publicly.
- He cautioned against others "speeding up your clock," stressing that the team’s offense invites aggression but is not designed for Podziemski to take over yet.
- Green emphasized that veterans absorb media pressure so young players are not "crushed" by scrutiny as their roles grow.
- Podziemski previously told The Athletic he wants to be the player the Warriors "leave it with" after Stephen Curry and Green retire.
- The third-year guard has shown progress, including a 23-point, 8-assist preseason outing on October 12, building on First Team All-Rookie honors and a 2024 Team USA Select nod.
