Former players debate Warriors rookie from @gilsarena0
Gilbert Arenas and DeMarcus Cousins passionately question why Warriors rookie Brandin Podziemski is getting so much playing time, comparing his stats and treatment unfavorably to veterans like Klay Thompson and Cousins himself. They analyze his shooting percentages and argue that Klay Thompson was booed for similar performance, concluding that Podziemski's role is disproportionate to his on-court production.

Transcript excerpt
No who is Pesinski sleeping with, bra? Man. Like, Jesus Christ. No. No. It's a real question, bro. This man good a no. He has to he good to know something or know somebody. When I played for the Warriors, I didn't get that much of a leash. When I was coming off three all Four All Stars. I didn't get that much of a leash. No when you averaged tier for five in there. Four or best. Who? Worst did he shoot from the three? He was 43% from the field, 37 from three. Klay got booed out of the Golden State average 18 with them same stats. So I'm trying to figure out like, because it's not like you're d you're you don't play the defense. I'm trying to figure out He's not a game changer. Like Solid role player. I mean The expectation you have you can't have the expectation of Klay with him, though. He took he took Klay's spot. Klay was shooting 39% of his last season with the Warriors. Come on, bro. 18. Come on, bro. And they said Klay won better than one. Yep.
