Facing the Magic s state is simply a mess, but the Warriors still have to keep him on the court for a long time?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Orlando Magic defeated the Golden State Warriors 121-113 at home. After this game, the Magic, who had won 4 of the last 5 games, improved their record to 8-7, and their ranking rose to 9th in the Eastern Conference; while the Warriors, who ended their 3-game winning streak, saw their record drop to 9-7, and their ranking fell to 8th in the Western Conference.

In this game, the performance of the Warriors' new substitute backcourt star Brandin Podziemski was a mess. Podemski played 26 minutes and 30 seconds, shooting 2 of 7 from the field and 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 5 points and 6 rebounds. He also had 2 fouls and a plus-minus of -7. Podemski played no role at both ends of the offense and defense. His offensive efficiency was very average, his scoring ability was not used at all, and he didn't know how he should provide more help to the team. Not only that, his role in passing and organization is also very limited, and he has also not shown his ability in this area. Podemski was even more mediocre on the defensive end and had no effect. In this game, Podemski's overall condition was obviously no longer at his best. As a result, he still got a lot of playing time. This arrangement is also a bit puzzling.

In the NBA regular season last season, Podemski played a total of 64 times in 82 games, averaging 26.8 minutes per game and averaging 11.0 points per game. 7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.2 blocks, 1.2 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. The shooting percentage was 44.5%, the three-point shooting percentage was 37.2%, and the free throw percentage was 75.8%. In the playoffs, Podemski played a total of 12 times, averaging 32.1 minutes per game. He averaged 11.3 points, 5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 1.5 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 36.4% from the field, 32.8% from the three-point range, and 70.8% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Podemski has averaged 28.3 minutes per game in the first 12 games, averaging 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also has 1.2 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 44.7%, 38.7% from three-point range, and 75% from free throws.

Podemski is certainly not an ineffective player. He can still play a key role in many games. He also has relatively comprehensive abilities on the offensive end, and he also has a relatively positive attitude on the defensive end. The only problem is that Podemski is not a stable player, and he cannot maintain a high level of performance in every game. When he performed poorly, it was difficult for him to have a basic effect on both offense and defense. It stands to reason that given Podemski's characteristics, the Warriors should arrange his playing time reasonably. When he is in poor form like this game, it would be right to reduce his playing time. As a result, they still had to let him play on the court for so long, which was really incomprehensible.
