Hot Takes on Warriors' Podziemski vs. Rockets Without Jabari Smith Jr., Amen Thompson

It was a mixed bag type of night for Golden State Warriors' rookie Brandin Podziemski.

While he showed off some of the skills that made him the No. 19 overall selection in this year's NBA draft, he also displayed a lot of the growing pains that'll come with a first year player in a loss to the Houston Rockets on Thursday.

Podziemski, 20, had arguably his best shooting night since Vegas Summer League started, finishing with 10 points 4-of-8 shooting from the field and 2-of-5 from three-point range, much better efficiency than the 1-of-10 nightmare he had Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
