When Steph Curry sits, most Warriors fans instinctively brace for offensive stagnation. It’s often times been the basketball equivalent of your internet cutting out right when you’re about to win a video game: something bad is about to happen and there’s not much you can do about it.
But Tuesday night against the Bucks told a different story, one where Brandin Podziemski isn’t just filling minutes in Curry’s absence. He’s actively hunting for his moment to shine, as in his first game back from injury he dropped 17 points on 4-of-7 shooting from deep, with 7 rebounds against Milwaukee.
