Podziemski impressed in his preseason debut with the Warriors on Saturday, registering 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field to go along with six boards and four assists in 26 minutes off the bench against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Podziemski will have the chance to build on his solid start to the preseason on Friday night in an exhibition rematch against the Lakers in Hollywood.
