Much of the attention on the Golden State Warriors goes to their 'Big Three' and rightfully so. Steph Curry is an established superstar in this league and has been for well over a decade, Jimmy Butler is one of the more popular personalities in the NBA and has had significant success on multiple different teams, and Draymond Green is one of the most outspoken, discussion-driving players ever. They naturally sap up a lot of the talk about the Warriors.

However, the Dubs have had quite a few premier performances from the rest of the players on the team, especially across their continued bout of success in the past few weeks. Players like De'Anthony Melton and Al Horford have been praised, particularly for how they've bounced back from injury and a rough start to the season, but there's one other bench player who's settled in nicely as of late: Brandin Podziemski.

Despite his role fluctuating throughout the season, Podziemski is averaging a career-high 11.8 points per game and has gotten his three-point shooting up over 40% on the season. He seems to be more comfortable handling the ball and making decisions as one of the primary playmakers off the bench.

After scoring 15 points on 6-10 shooting in the Warriors' big win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, Podziemski dived into how he's been making decisions when driving and breaking the paint.

"It first depends on who the low man is for them. How early are they over? Cause once you beat your man, it's just 4-on-3. Just make the right decision. Sometimes the low man is not far enough over, so I have a layup, but if they are, then just kick it out."

His play in the paint has been one of the marked areas of improvement for Podziemski. In the beginning of the year, it seemed like he would stop his dribble too early or get caught in between two choices on his drives to the rim, but in being more decisive, it seems like Podziemski been able to find a good mindset of aggression and looking to make the correct play.

Podziemski was a polarizing player in the early parts of the season, to say the least. Though he had a very solid rookie season and followed it up with an improved sophomore season, some off-the-court comments rubbed people the wrong way, and it didn't help that his play didn't seem to take a leap heading into this year.

He was at the center of a few trade rumors, but as of late, even with many discussions surrounding the Warriors trading Jonathan Kuminga, Podziemski's name has rarely appeared in these talks, unless it's regarding trades for a bona fide star.

The NBA is obviously an unpredictable place, and anything can happen on a moment's notice, but with how Podziemski has bought into his bench role and played relatively well, it seems like he may be sticking around at least until the end of his rookie contract.
