2025 Fantasy Outlook
Podziemski underwent surgeries on his wrist and core this offseason, but is expected to be healthy for training camp. Despite a slight boost in points, threes and steals in Year 2, it wasn't the breakout performance many were hoping for from the Santa Clara product. He's been a key part of Golden State's rotation since being drafted outside of the lottery in 2023, but his production and impact fluctuate. In 12 postseason contests last season, Podziemski scored at least 26 points twice and was held to single digits five times, a trend that continued from the regular season. While he has an all-around skill set, he's not elite in any single category, plus he has to scavenge for usage behind Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. Buddy Hield's hot shooting also puts Podziemski on the back burner at times, and Jonathan Kuminga will be in the mix again after signing an extension. Podziemski has undoubtedly been a valuable fantasy asset at times. However, he's finished outside the top 135 in eight-category leagues in each of his first two campaigns, despite making 138 total regular-season appearances and averaging 26.7 minutes per game. Heading into his age-22 season, there's plenty of room for growth, but this is an aging Golden State squad that'll continue to prioritize winning over developmental minutes. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $6.87 million contract with the Warriors in July of 2023. Warriors exercised $3.69 million team option for 2025-26 in October of 2024. Contract includes $5.68 million team option for 2026-27. 
Leads all scorers in loss
Podziemski amassed 23 points (10-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt), eight assists, five rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Podziemski did all the right things despite the loss, stepping up in the absence of Stephen Curry (undisclosed), Moses Moody (calf), Jimmy Butler (personal) and Al Horford (rest), who were all given the night off. All signs point to Podziemski building on what was a strong finish to the 2024-25 season, putting him firmly in the discussion as a late-round must-roster player.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Podziemski enjoyed a solid rookie year with the Warriors, averaging 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, but more importantly, he started 28 games (out of 74 appearances) and logged a solid 26.6 minutes per game. Things are on the upside trajectory for Podziemski, as the Warriors parted ways with Klay Thompson in the offseason, so the second-year guard is likely to open the season as the starting shooting guard while Buddy Hield comes off the bench. Scoring aside, Podziemski has already proven himself to be one of the best rebounding guards in the NBA, trailing only Luka Doncic, Josh Hart and Josh Giddey in the category last season. The uptick in minutes and more significant role should translate to Podziemski averaging double-digit points for the first time in his career, especially if he's able to maintain the same efficiency levels he showed as a rookie -- he shot 45.4 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from three-point range. Maintaining efficiency while experiencing an uptick in volume will be vital to preserving his fantasy upside. Still, unless Podziemski suffers a massive regression, he's primed to be a solid -- if not better -- fantasy asset in all categories as Stephen Curry's teammate in the Warriors' backcourt.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hoping to improve mentally
Podziemski is hoping to make major strides in the mental side of the game ahead of the 2025-26 season, according to Nick Friedell of The Athletic. "There's a next step in evolving emotionally, and as a leader," Podziemski told The Athletic. "Having confidence from your teammates is one thing, especially the vets, but them trusting you in big moments that could define their career. Could add another piece to their career. For them to have trust in you is a different thing, and you got to earn that over time, and I think that's a goal of mine going into this season."
ANALYSIS
Podziemski is expected to operate as a secondary option on offense for the Warriors in 2025-26, and it's unclear if either he or Moses Moody, who's dealing with a calf problem, will start at shooting guard. However, if Podziemski achieves the goal of becoming a better player mentally, that could enable him to take the next step in his development. The third-year guard averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game as a sophomore in 2024-25.
