[Holmes] Kerr sees Podziemski as a player who can potentially play point guard in the NBA. “He can definitely handle the ball and run a team. We’ll see where the season takes us, but what I like is that he connects lineups. We can put him out there with anybody.”

genuinely have never seen kerr out rightly praise a rookie like he has with podz. even with past rookies (wiseman, JK) it was very surface level praise but kerr is very specific about what he likes from podz which is so rare
Podz has already earned Kerrās coveted āconnectorā labelā¦well done rook!
Heāll lead Santa Cruz this year
Craziest thing about Podz is heās just 20 but plays like heās 25. Great feel for the game, already has an honest understanding of what heās really good at, and his confidence will grow with more NBA experience.
Kerr’s words were visible in Podz’s play on the court tonight – I was surprised by how well he connected and passed without hesitation, in the right place at the right time – no hesitating in getting him the ball.
I’d love to see a healthy Podz and CoJo battle for that backup PG position develop this year
Meaningless crap. Itās literally staged and negotiated with the media. Boosts trade equity in case they want to make some moves later.
When Kerr uses the term āConnectorā watch out.
