The Golden State Warriors reportedly view second-year guard Brandin Podziemski higher than rivals potentially interested in trading with the team, per The Athletic's Anthony Slater.
"From the Warriors' side, his internal value, which appears to supersede the external reputation, can be spelled out through some of his rookie numbers," Slater wrote.
The Warriors' high evaluation of Podziemski comes amid trade rumors surrounding Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen. Per The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Jazz are interested in the majority of Golden State's trade assets, which would include Podziemski.
